Long Lost Brother

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 out loud

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

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 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

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
