Guilty

James
It brings us no joy
To stand before you now
She is our sister
Our blood is a vow

But there is a call
That sounds deeper than blood
To the family I love
To the judgment of God

Aaron
And when I was seventeen
She ran away from us
And I don’t know what it means
I can’t account for much

But when our father died
He called out her name
And our mother cried
But she never came

So she’s guilty of breaking our hearts
Of leaving us lost
She pulled us apart
But is she guilty of hurting a child?
I couldn’t say
She’ll have to face trial

James
For guidance in life
I look to the word
When Eve tasted the fruit
Adam fell on the sword

And if Diana’s been tempted
And the devil has won
I would not hesitate to deliver her fate
To protect my own son

Aaron
And when she was seventeen
She came back to us
And I don’t know what it means
I can’t account for much

Cuz when she did return
She was not the same
She never said a word
And she never felt ashamed

James
So she’s guilty of inviting the dark
Aaron
(of breaking our hearts)
James
And we’ve born the cross
Aaron
(of leaving us lost)

James
She pulled us apart
Aaron
(she pulled us apart)
James
But is she guilty of hurting a child?
Aaron
(She’s hurt us before)
James
She’ll have to face trial
