Cain

Hello brother, you don't know me anymore

You know my face but you can't recall the name

And I look different than I ever looked before

Would you believe me if I said my name was Cain

Would you believe me if I said my name was Cain



We tried so hard to meet on common ground

And we walked along together for awhile

But then you broke the bond of friendship we had found

And when I shook your hand, you tried to raise a smile

When I shook your hand, you tried to raise a smile



Are you scared of liking what you see

Are you scared of the seed that cast a doubt

You have been hurt, but I've suffered more than thee

I'm left to wander in the wilderness about

I'm left to wander in the wilderness about



I was rejected when you were taken in

I laboured long for my offering of grain

Now you can laugh at the penance of my sin

No it's not easy to bear the name of Cain

It's not easy to bear the name of Cain
