Yahweh I need your help

Yahweh...I need your help
"Yahweh"Take these shoesClick clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoesAnd make them fit
Take this shirtPolyester white trash made in nowhere
Take this shirtAnd make it clean, clean
Take this soulStranded in some skin and bones
Take this soulAnd make it singYahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is bornYahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn
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 kissYahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is bornYahweh, Yahweh
Still I'm waiting for the dawn
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 oceanYahweh, Yahweh
Always pain before a child is born
Yahweh, tell me now 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 break
