Penitent |
Once I stood alone so proud |
Held myself above the crowd |
And now I’m low on the ground |
From here I look around to see |
What avenues belong to me |
I can’t tell what I’ve found |
Now what would you have me do? |
I ask you please |
I wait to hear |
The mother and the matador |
The mystic, each were here before |
Like me to stare you down |
You appear without a face |
Disappear but leave your trace |
I feel your unseen frown |
Now what would you have me do? |
I ask you please |
I wait to hear |
Your voice |
The word |
You say |
I wait |
To see your sign |
Would I |
Obey? |
I look for you in heathered moor |
The desert and the ocean floor |
How low does one heart go? |
Looking for your fingerprints |
I find them in coincidence |
And make my faith to grow |
Forgive me all my blindnesses |
My weakness and unkindnesses |
As yet unbending still |
Struggling so hard to see |
My fist against eternity |
And will you break my will? |
Now what would you have me do? |
I ask you please |
I wait to hear |
Your voice |
The word |
You say |
I wait |
To see your sign |
Would I |
Obey? |
Now what would you have me do? |
I ask you, please |
I wait to hear |
Your voice |
The word |
You say |
I wait |
To see your sign |
Could I |
Obey? |
