take these shoes
click clacking down some dead end street
and make them fit
take this shirt
polyester white trash made in nowhere
and make it clean, clean
take this soul
stranded in some skin and bones
and make it sing
yahweh, yahweh
always pain before a child is born
still i'm waiting for the dawn
take these hands
teach them what to carry
don't make a fist
take this mouth
so quick to criticise
give it a kiss
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
yahweh, tell me now
why the dark before the dawn?
take this city
a city should be shining on a hill
if it be your will
what no man can own, no man can take
take this heart
and make it break
