about
Genesis 42-45
lyrics
Joseph, Rachel – our mother – is gone
Her last words named me Ben-Oni
“Son of her suffering”
Our father keeps me close to him
He calls me Benjamin
The last of her kin
I wish she could be here
To wrap her arms around us
I wish she wasn’t dead ‘cause of me
Joseph, I always thought you were dead
Our half-brothers never said
What they put you through
Growing up I would pretend that you
And mother were still alive
Always by my side
I wish she could be here
To wrap her arms around us
I wish she wasn’t dead ‘cause of me
Brother, I don’t really know you
But I know what it’s like to
Leave an old name behind
Come and weep on me
Shed your tears, your grief
Rachel – our mother – is dead
But I am here for you in her stead
