Alec Benjamin - Gabriel

^EGabriel the oldest son He p^E4raised the lord and m^Earried young ^G#mBecame a Priest and at confession ^G#m6Cured the people o^G#m7f transgression

^EGabriel he held the weight of ^E4Everybody's ^Etoxic waste and ^G#mWith the load upon his shoulder ^G#m6Couldn't sleep as^G#m7 he got older

^C#mOoooh ^AWhat it means to be someone that ^EEverybody has to talk to ^F#Everybody has to talk to ^C#mOoooh Our ^AGabriel, he had no one that ^EHe could talk to Gabriel, he ^F#had no one that he could talk to

^ELooking for a place to be or ^E4Someplace he could h^Eide his grief ^G#mGabriel ran to the beach and ^G#m6Set out for the ^G#m7open sea

H^Eeaved the baggage from the sands A^E4board the vessel w^Eith his hands And ^G#mwhen he couldn't see the land Re^G#m6leased their sins on ^G#m7his command

^C#mOoooh ^AWhat it means to be someone that ^EEverybody has to talk to ^F#Everybody has to talk to ^C#mOoooh Our ^AGabriel, he had no one that ^EHe could talk to Gabriel, he ^F#had no one that he could talk to

^EAs the problems slowly drifted ^E4All the weight was q^Euickly lifted ^G#mFrom his back into the sea He^G#m6 finally felt^G#m7 he was free

^EWhen he got home after months ^E4Sat down and wait^Eed for lunch He ^G#mlooked down at an empty dish Cause ^G#m6all their sins had^G#m7 killed the fish

^C#mOoooh ^AWhat it means to be someone that ^EEverybody has to talk to ^F#Everybody has to talk to ^C#mOoooh Our ^AGabriel, he had no one that ^EHe could talk to Gabriel, he ^F#had no one that he could talk to
