Gabriel

[Verse 1] 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 a load upon his shoulder Couldn't sleep as he got older [Chorus] Oh oh oh What it means to be someone That everybody has to talk to Everybody has to talk to Oh oh oh Our Gabriel he had no one That he could talk to Gabriel he had no one That he could talk to [Verse 2] Looking for a place to be Or some place he could hide his grief Gabriel ran to the beach And set out for the open sea Heaved the baggage from the sand Aboard the vessel with his hands And when he couldn't see the land Released their sins on his command [Chorus] Oh oh oh What it means to be someone That everybody has to talk to Everybody has to talk to Oh oh oh Our Gabriel he had no one That he could talk to Gabriel he had no one That he could talk to [Verse 3] As the problems slowly drifted All the weight was quickly lifted From his bag into the sea He finally felt he was free When he got home after months Sat down and waited for lunch He looked down at an empty dish Cause all their sins had killed the fish [Chorus] Oh oh oh What it means to be someone That everybody has to talk to Everybody has to talk to Oh oh oh Our Gabriel he had no one That he could talk to Gabriel he had no one That he could talk to [Outro] But is Gabriel responsible
