Yahweh

[Verse 1]

Take these shoes

Click clacking down some dead end street

Take these shoes

And make them fit

[Verse 2]

Take this shirt

Polyester white trash made in nowhere

Take this shirt

And make it clean, clean

[Verse 3]

Take this soul

Stranded in some skin and bones

Take this soul

And make it sing, sing

[Chorus]

Yahweh, Yahweh

Always pain before a child is born

Yahweh, Yahweh

Still I'm waiting for the dawn

[Verse 4]

Take these hands

Teach them what to carry

Take these hands

Don't make a fist, no

[Verse 5]

Take this mouth

So quick to criticize

Take this mouth

Give it a kiss

[Chorus]

Yahweh, Yahweh

Always pain before a child is born

Yahweh, Yahweh

Still I'm waiting for the dawn

[Bridge]

Still waiting for the dawn

The sun is coming up

The sun is coming up on the ocean

This love is like a drop in the ocean

This love is like a drop in the ocean

Oh

[Chorus]

Yahweh, Yahweh

Always pain before a child is born

Yahweh, tell me now

Why the dark before the dawn?

[Post-Chorus]

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

[Verse 6]

Take this city

A city should be shining on a hill

Take this city

If it be your will

[Verse 7]

What no man can own

No man can take

Take this heart

Take this heart

Take this heart

And make it break
