Penitent

Once I stood alone so proud held myself

Above the crowd and now how 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 to disappear

To be for like me to stare

You down

You appear without a face

The mystic all were here before

I feel your unseen frown

Now what would you have me do

I have you please

I wait to hear your voice the word you say

I wait to 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 and once go with

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

Could 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

Would I

Obey
