Neal Morse - The Brothers Repent Joseph Revealed

I see that you have returned for more of the same
You brought your youngest brother with you
Give them the grain

Please come and dine with me
And when we are done you'll see
And I will insist your youngest stay with me

So we went into the palace and feasted there
It was so bizarre, he gave ben five times his share
Then we left and had no lack
But his men came and brought us back
They said they found something stolen in his sack

You were doing well to bring your brother here
Why have you repaid my good with evil?
He who took the cup will now become my slave
It's looking like your youngest, he is mine

Master why do you say these things to us?
We would never steal, we brought your money
Benjamin could not have done this evil thing
Tell me what to say to prove our innocence

I will keep the boy 'cause you lied to me
The rest of you can go and go quietly
I will keep the boy 'cause he stole from me
He'll stay here by my side
This surely is his plight
Now be gone from my sight

My lord, I beg your pardon
Our lives are in your hands
But if we go back without him
It'll surely kill the man
I can't go back without him
I hope you understand
Our father had twelves sons with different wives
Such different lives they led
He had two of our brothers in his old age
One we left for dead
Did you all hear what I said?

And I don't know
But I feel God chose me for this
And now I understand
The boy is good
He is not responsible for this
But there's blood on my hands

My father has already lost one son
It would kill him to lose another
If you need another life to hold the line
Take mine!
Take mine!
Take mine!

You would do that to save your brother?

I'd do anything to make things right

This is all, I can take

We made such a mistake all those years ago

Leave me now, I can't take any more

For what we did, we deserve what's in store

Please don't punish others for our crimes

My god, justice is yours
I feel you calling to open the doors
Father made everything right
Take hold of my heart and I'll start a new life

The threw me in the pit
But God wasn't done
No, he just won't quit
They said I was at the end
But God had a plan
For me to love once again
He brought us back together again
When so little did we know
