Penitent (Acoustic Version)

[Verse 1]

Once I stood alone so proud

Held myself above the crowd

And now I'm low on the ground

From here I look around to see

What avenues belong to me

I can't tell what I've found

[Refrain]

Now what would you have me do?

I ask you please

I wait to hear

[Verse 2]

The mother and the matador

The mystic, each were here before

Like me to stare you down

But you appear without a face

Disappear but leave your trace

I feel your unseen frown

[Refrain]

Now what would you have me do?

I ask you please

I wait to hear

[Chorus]

Your voice

The word

You say

I wait

To see your sign

Would I

Obey?

[Verse 3]

I look for you in heathered moor

The desert and the ocean floor

How low does one heart go?

And looking for your fingerprints

I find them in coincidence

And make my faith to grow

[Verse 4]

Forgive me all my blindnesses

Weakness and unkindnesses

As yet unbending still

Struggling so hard to see

My fist against eternity

And will you break my will?

[Refrain]

Now what would you have me do?

I ask you please

I wait to hear

[Chorus]

Your voice

The word

You say

I wait

To see your sign

Would I

Obey?

[Refrain]

Now what would you have me do?

I ask you please

I wait to hear

[Chorus]

Your voice

The word

You say

I wait

To see your sign

Could I

Obey?
