^EmGabriel the oldest son ^GHe praised the Lord and married young ^AmBecame a priest and had confession ^CCured the people of transgression ^EmGabriel he held the weight ^GOf everybody's toxic waste ^DAnd with a load upon his shoulder ^CCouldn't sleep as he got older

^EmLooking for a place to be ^GOr some place he could hide his grief ^DGabriel ran to the beach ^CAnd set out for the open sea ^EmHeaved the bagged from the sand ^GAbort the vessel with his hands ^DAnd when he couldn't see the land ^CReleased their sins on his command

^EmAs the problems slowly drifted ^GAll the weight was quickly lifted ^DFrom his back into the sea ^CHe finally felt he was free ^EmWhen he got home after months ^GSet down and waited for lunch ^DHe looked down at an empty dish ^CCause all their sins had killed the fish
