Long Lost Brother
I thought that wed be
Further along by now
I cant remember how
We stumbled to this place
I loved you like a long lost brother
On a bad day maybe I thought why bother
Ive 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 dont mean to laugh out loud
Im 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 whatevers not in front of you
Deep down I know this includes me too
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
So tell me your troubles
Let your pain rain down
I know my job Ive been around
I invest in the mess
Im a low cost dumping ground
Trouble is Im so exhausted
The plot, you see, I think Ive lost it
I need the grace to find what cant be found
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
Jesus and Mary
Come and carry us
Across this ocean
Into the arms of forgiveness
