[Verse] Two brothers tangled in a fight A rich man's gold their only sight One demands the other cries In this squabble of truth and lies [Verse 2] Their father's fortune torn apart by grasping hands and bitter hearts Bitter words like sharpened knives In dark shadows greed connives [Chorus] Help us Jesus hear our plea Guide our hearts and set us free From this greed that blinds my brother Bring us peace now with each other [Verse 3] The Elder claims he's paid the price The Younger yells of selfish vice Fumes and fire now fill the air Love is lost in this despair [Bridge] How did we reach this sorry ending? Brothers once now foes defending In this vain scramble for that gold What once was warmth now leaves us cold [Chorus] Help us Jesus hear our plea Guide our hearts and set us free From this greed that blinds my brother Bring us peace now with each other
