Alec Benjamin – Gabriel Chords

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

Ooooh, what it means to be someone that
Everybody has to talk to, everybody has to talk to
Ooooh, 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

Ooooh, what it means to be someone that
Everybody has to talk to, everybody has to talk to
Ooooh 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 down at an empty dish
‘Cause all their sins had killed the fish

Ooooh, what it means to be someone that
Everybody has to talk to, everybody has to talk to
Ooooh, our Gabriel, he had no one that
He could talk to Gabriel, he had no one that he could talk to
But is Gabriel responsible?
