Take a stick and write Judah on it
Take another stick and write Ephraim on it
Tie them together
Tie them together
And they will be made one
Tie us together

I’m sorry for the things I’ve done
For all the things I lack
I tried to save you from our brothers’ plan
But you were gone when I got back
I promise that it was never my plan
I always wanted the best for you
I talked them out of murdering you
And I would do it all again
But I owe you more than that (x3)
Little brother
The famine got so bad we had to come
We didn’t know that it was you
We would never steal from a king
Just need to feed our family
I didn’t know what happened to you
It’s been so hard to lie to dad
But Benjamin is under my care too
And I’ll always have his back
But I owe you more than that (x3)
Little brother
There’s always been division in our house
But not no more
I’ll try to be the older one

Water

I miss the place what I come from I miss my hometown
Surrounded by the things that I know and the ones that I love
Well recently everything around me seems distant and hard
If only I could have some water from my own well
The water is sweet it’s the best in the world by far
It’s the best thing, the best drink, the best fuel, a good friend to me
And I’ll drink drink drink deep of that cool and sweet water
Let it run run run run down my chin and my front to the ground
It reminds me our back when I was just a little child
And my mother and sisters would go to the well for me
They’d give me a cup and I’d drink it all up and smile
It reminds me of better times, reminds me when I still had a home
Before all the fighting
Before all the struggles and war
Before all the difficulties
Before my sins caught up with me
Before I will king
Before Goliath was down
There were better times, easier times, simpler times, I want them back
And I’ll drink drink drink deep of that cool and sweet water
Let it run run run run down my chin and my front to the ground
I’d forget all these hard times and remember home
Sometimes you just have to slow down and remember home
Sometimes you just have to slow down
And remember home

Salvation

Build an ark to put upon the water
And then I will bring salvation to your sons
Put your son in a basket on the river
And through him I’ll bring salvation to y’all
And I will bring salvation to y’all
And I will bring salvation to y’all
Chaos is the water but now I’mma trump it all
And I will bring salvation to y’all
Lower down that rope with scarlet ribbon
And then I will bring salvation to her soul
Lowered down in a basket from a window
And then I will bring salvation to his soul
And I will bring salvation to her soul
And I will bring salvation to his soul
People tried to kill ‘em but now I’mma trump it all
And I will bring salvation to y’all
Chaos is the water but now I’mma trump it all
And I will bring salvation to y’all
