"Gabriel" is the story of a boy who has nobody to talk to

Press show more for lyrics

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

oooo

What it means to be someone

That everybody has to talk

Everybody has to talk to

oooo

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

oooo

What it means to be someone

That everybody has to talk

Everybody has to talk to

oooo

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 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

oooo

What it means to be someone

That everybody has to talk

Everybody has to talk to

oooo

Our Gabriel he had no one

That he could talk to

Gabriel

He had no one that he could talk to
