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
