I would take no for an answer
Just to know I heard you speak
And I'm wondering why I've never

And I've never heard the calling
But somehow You've led me right here
So I'm not lookin' for burnin' bushes
Or some Divine graffiti to appear
I'm just beggin You for Your wisdom
And I believe You're puttin' some here...
Chorus
(ah's and do's)
Chorus (repeat)
Nine's not a color...
And if even if it was you can't smell a color,no
That's my point exactly
Do do do do do do do (repeat)
