Jeremiah (Something Beutiful)

Sinead O'Connor


I wanna make 
Something beautiful 
For you and from you
To show you
To show you
I adore you 
Oh you 

And your journey 
Toward me 
Which I see 
And I see 
All you push through 
Mad for you
And because of you

I couldn't thank you in ten thousand years 
If I cried ten thousand rivers of tears 
Ah but you know the soul and you know what makes it gold 
You who give life through blood 

Oh I wanna make something 
So lovely for you
'Cus I promised that's what I'd do for you
With the bible I stole 
I know you forgave my soul 
Because such was my need on a chronic Christmas Eve 
And I think we're agreed that it should have been free 
And you sang to me 

They dress the wounds of my poor people 
As though they're nothing 
Saying "peace, peace" 
When there's no peace (2x) 

Now can a bride forget her jewels? 
Or a maid her ornaments? 
Yet my people forgotten me 
Days without number 
Days without number 
And in their want 
Oh in there want 
And in their want 
Who'll dress their wounds? 
Who'll dress their wounds?
