Yahweh lyrics

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 criticise

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

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

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
