Long Lost Brother
(Detweiler)
I thought that we'd be
Further along by now
I can't remember how
We stumbled to this place
I loved you like a long lost brother
On a bad day maybe I thought why bother
I've seldom seen so much anger
In a face
I wanna do better
I wanna try harder
I wanna believe
Down to the letter
Jesus and Mary
Can you carry us
Across this ocean
Into the arms of forgiveness
I don't mean to laugh outloud
I'm trying to come clean
Trying to shed my doubt
Maybe I should just keep
My big mouth shut
More often than not
When it comes to you
You want whatever's not in front of you
Deep down I know this includes me too
So tell me your troubles
Let your pain rain down
I know my job I've been around
I invest in the mess
I'm a low cost dumping ground
Trouble is I'm so exhausted
The plot, you see, I think I've lost it
I need the grace to find what can't be found
