[Verse 1]
Once I stood alone so proud
Held myself above the crowd
And now I'm low on the ground

[Verse 2]
From here I look around to see
What avenues belong to me
I can't tell what I've found

[Chorus]
Now what would you have me do
I ask you please?
I wait to hear

[Verse 3]
The mother and the matador
The mystic; each were here before
Like me, to stare you down

[Verse 4]
You appear without a face
Disappear but leave your trace
I feel your unseen frown

[Chorus]
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?
[Verse 5]
I look for you in heathered moor
The desert and the ocean floor
How low does one heart go

[Verse 6]
Looking for your fingerprints
I find them in coincidence
And make my faith to grow

[Verse 7]
Forgive me all my blindnesses
My weakness and unkindnesses
As yet unbending still

[Verse 8]
Struggling so hard to see
My fist against eternity
And will you break my will?

[Chorus]
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?
[Chorus]
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?
