Lyrics
Now I am low on the ground
From here I look around to see What avenues belong to me I can't tell what ive found
Now what would you have me do I ask you please? I wait to hear
The mother, and the matador The mystic, all 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 Could i Obey?
