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?
