Yahweh

Take these shoes
Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes and make them fit

Take this shirt
Polyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirt and make it clean

Take this soul
Stranded in some skin and bones
Take this soul and make it sing

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn

Take these hands
Teach them what to carry
Take these hands, don't make a fist

Take this mouth
So quick to criticize
Take this mouth, give it a kiss

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn

The sun is coming up again, The sun is coming up again
The sun is coming up on the ocean
His love is like a drop in the ocean
His love is like a drop in the ocean

Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Tell me now
Why the dark before the dawn

Take this city
A city should be shining on a hill
Take this city if it be your will
What no man can own, no man can take
Take this heart, take this heart, Take this heart and make it break
