Brother can you hear me?
Can you see my heart break?
Can you feel the loneliness that lies within my soul?
Brother please forgive me.
I didn't mean to cheat you.
All these worldly things, somehow don't mean a thing.
I was wrong, I know, to take what wasn't mine;
but something deep inside my soul
tripped me up and took control.
Now, I'm coming home and there's no turning back.
I fear my life won't mean a thing,
when i see his face again.
I can see him coming!
Father, please protect me.
There's so many men with him
that want to take my life.
Essau can you hear me?
Brother please forgive me.
Then he comes up to me and looks into my eyes.
I can hardly speak.
Lord i feel so weak.
Will he take my life away?
Will he end it all today?
I can't take this pain,
and losing him again
is worse than anything i fear.
Then he speaks as he draws near.
Jacob, Jacob, my brother —
How long have you been gone from me —
but why do you tremble and cry?
Because of me???
Yes at one time, all i could think of
was destroying everything you've ever owned;
but today as i rode over that hill and i saw you standing there —
My heart leaped for joy.
Jacob, I've always loved you.
Brother, please forgive me!
Brother, please forgive me!
