Suzanne Vega
Penitent

once I stood alone so proud
held myself above the crowd
now I am 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
could I
obey?



Mirror lyrics:


obey?
could I
to see your sign
I wait
you say
the word
your voice,
i wait to hear
I ask you please?
*now what would you have me do

and will you break my will?
my fist against eternity
struggling so hard to see

as yet unbending still.
my weakness and unkindnesses
forgive me all my blindnesses

and make my faith to grow.
I find them in coincidence,
looking for your fingerprints

how low does one heart go.
the desert, and the ocean floor
I look for you in heathered moor,

obey?
would I
I wait to see your sign
you say.
the word,
your voice,
I wait to hear
I ask you please?
*now what would you have me do

I feel your unseen frown.
disappear, but leave your trace,
you appear without a face,

like me, to stare You down.
the mystic; each were here before,
the mother and the matador,

I wait to hear.
I ask you please?
*now what would You have me do

I can't tell what I've found.
what avenues belong to me
from here I look around to see

now I am low on the ground.
held myself above the crowd
once I stood alone so proud
