Take these shoes, click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes and make them fit.
Take this shirt, polyester white trask made in nowhere
Take this shirt and make it clean, 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, teach them what to carry
Take these hands, don't make a fist, no
Take this mouth, so quick to criticize
Take this mouth, give it a kiss
Yahweh, Yahweh always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh, still I'm waiting for the dawn.
Still waiathing for the dawn, the sun is coming up
The sun is coming up on the ocean
His love is like a drop in the ocean
His love is like a drop in the ocean
Yahweh, Yahweh always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh why the dark before 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 brave.
