Long Lost Mama - Georgians

Long Lost Brother

Words and Music: Detweiler

recording: OHIO

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
