Responsible

Oh God

Why am I alone?

Abandoned

And facing the unknown

When I was was born

All I knew was the harshness of sun and sand

A bitter land

But with you

I could run through the stones and the wilderness

In faithfulness

And I swore to protect

And never let you leave my side

And as God is my witness

I promised that I would provide

When we were young we climbed up the tallest trees

To try and see

A distant place of plenty from God's hand

A promised land

And we would dream together

Me and you

My little brother

When we were grown

Joshua sent us to spy the land

On God's command

And we marched

'Round the powerful stronghold of Jericho

And down it goes

And though we won that day

God told us"Let riches pass by"

But one stole the treasure

And angered Jehovah on high

And though one sinned and broke Jehovah's law

And though God saw

My brother you were innocent I swear

But did God care?

Oh we were blind together

Me and you

My little brother

My little brother

And after that

We marched on Ai for another prize

Said our goodbyes

And your wife

I remember the way that she reached for you

As if she knew

And I swore to your love

To never let you leave my side

And we rode out to battle

Confident God would provide

I remember as we stood there strong and proud

We prayed aloud

But God would not allow us victory

Or hear our plea

But we still marched together

Me and you

My little brother

But without our God we never stood a chance

The sons of Jacob killed on sword and lance

While fighting I was torn from your side

And you were gone my brother our God would not provide

Beriah!

And then I saw your broken shield

Fallen on the battlefield

Pushed through battle shouted out

Overwhelmed by fear and doubt

I saw you wounded in the fray

And desperately I tried to pray

I begged of God to turn the tide

But your opponent reached your side

And as that soldier approached

Your broken body's place

He lifted his sword

And Aazreel I saw your face

And for one last time we looked in each other's eyes

You told me Be strong and prayed that I would stand

Now I am lost forever

Just me

Your big brother

Oh God

I left him alone

Abandoned

How can I atone

And for that I am responsible

No, no they are responsible

No

No Lord

Oh Lord you're

Lord you're

Responsible
