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 And teach them what to carry Take these hands Don't make a fist, no Take this mouth So quick to criticise Take this mouth Give it a kiss
Yahweh, Yahweh Always the pain before the child is born Yahweh, Yahweh Still I'm waiting for the dawn I'm still waiting I'm still waiting for the dawn
Take these blue eyes Take these blue eyes Take these eyes and make them see Love is just a drop in the ocean This love is just a drop in the ocean Love is just a drop in the ocean
Yahweh, Yahweh Always pain before a child is born Yahweh, you're waiting for me Still I'm waiting for 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
