Yahweh -- U2

Take these shoes Click clacking down some dead end street
Take these shoes And make them 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 Yahweh, Always pain before a child is born  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 critisize
Take this mouth Give it a kiss Yahweh, Always pain before a child is born 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 His love is like a drop in the ocean   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        And make it brave

I got around it by singing. I hope I don't offend anyone."Yahweh is a name of the Judeo-Christian God.      (wikipedia)
