On This Christmas (It Only Gets Better)

作词 : Sufjan Stevens
作曲 : Sufjan Stevens
On this Christmas, I ask for a forgiveness
For all the funny things I've said and done
Though I admit I am a misanthropic man
I only see the worst in things I guess
For in my dreams I might see everlasting life
But when I wake I still see darkness
For in the future tense there will be recompense
For all the funny things we've said and done
Oh, will it get much worse, my friend
You said: no, no matter what it's worth, my friend
You said: don't put it past the earth to get better in the end
And you may find your worth
In riches all this earth
It never hurts to try, I guess
But all the treasures laid
The hidden pleasures spade
They cannot keep you from your death
Though I believe in light ，the righteous afterlife
Will still distracted by this darkness
And on this Christmas, I ask for a forgiveness
For all the funny things I've said and done
Oh, will it get much worse, my friend?
You said: no, no matter what it is worth, my friend
You said: don't put it past the earth to get better in the end
