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
