Alec Benjamin - Gabriel

Gabriel the oldest son

He praised the lord and married young

Became a priest and at confession

Cured the people of transgression

Gabriel he held the weight of

Everybody’s toxic waste and

With the load upon his shoulder

Couldn’t sleep as he got older

Oh~

What it means to be someone

That everybody has to talk to

Everybody has to talk to

Oh~

Our Gabriel he had no one

That he could talk to

Gabriel he had no one that he could talk to

Looking for a place to be or

Someplace he could hide his grief

Gabriel ran to the beach and

Set out for the open sea

Heaved the baggage from the sands

Aboard the vessel with his hands

And when he couldn’t see the land

Released their sins on his command

Oh~

What it means to be someone

That everybody has to talk to

Everybody has to talk to

Oh~

Our Gabriel he had no one

That he could talk to

Gabriel he had no one that he could talk to

As the problems slowly drifted

All the weight was quickly lifted

From his back into the sea

He finally felt he was free

When he got home after months

Sat down and waited for lunch

He looked at an empty dish

Cause all their sins had killed the fish

Oh~

What it means to be someone

That everybody has to talk to

Everybody has to talk to

Oh~

Our Gabriel he had no one

That he could talk to

Gabriel he had no one that he could talk to

But is Gabriel responsib
