Verse
Take these shoes
Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes
And make them fit (fit)
Take this shirt
Polyester white trash 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 (sing)
Chorus
Yahweh, Yahweh
(pull off on the string)
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn
Verse
Take these hands
Teach them what to carry
Take these hands
Don't make a fist
Take this mouth
So quick to criticise
Take this mouth
Give it a kiss
Chorus
Yahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahewh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn
Verse
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 keep it save
