Penitent

[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
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?
Looking for your fingerprints
I find them in coincidence
And make my faith to grow

[Verse 4]
Forgive me all my blindnesses
My 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?
