Bring Ben lyrics
by Neal Morse
[JUDAH]
Father, we have brought the grain
It's insane all the pain that the
Main man brought down on us
[LEVI]
He said that we were spies and
Threw us in the jailhouse
[DAN]
Then he told us to come to you
And bring back another
With our youngest brother
[REUBEN]
We said we were ten
The youngest one is Ben
The other is no more
But we never
[ISAACHAR]
He said by this he'd surely know
Know that we were honеst
[ALL]
Where do we go? What do wе do?
We must bring him back or we'll die anyway
Anyway, oh
[JACOB]
The famine is severe, the sky is threatening
Is Simeon still alive?
And now you say to me you want my youngest son
You may not come back, you may not survive, woah
[JUDAH]
Send the boy with me
That all shall live and none shall perish
It's the only way the man be satisfied
Father, see, you can trust in me
For I know how much you cherish
The son for whom your Rachel bled and died
Oh-oh
In my mind, my thoughts unwind and burden me
It's a hurtful thing for one and all
To make it right I give my life gladly
There's no pride in me
Before the fall
Before the fall
