Joseph proclaimed
To a bunch of fratricidal maniacs
Of course they didn't really kill Joseph
They just excised him from the family
Though they broke connection
Though they divorced their brother
Joseph still claimed them as kin
My brothers and sisters
Never sold me for a slave
But they've certainly failed me before
As I have failed them
Do I have the grace to still say
"I am your brother"
I sure hope so
Cause I'm counting on them
To do the same
This crazy group of siblings
Vying for favor from Dad
Vying for power and position
Even so, can we live together?
Are the walls big enough
In this house?
Is the love big enough
In the walls
Of our hearts?
I sure hope so,
Sister,
Brother
