about

From the story of Cain and Abel in Genesis 4, this song is sung from the unique perspective of the ground (i.e. the dirt).

lyrics

Abel, your blood is in my mouth
Abel, your blood is crying out
He was angry or jealous
His heart was full of hate
But your blood is on your brother
And it’s calling out His name

Abel, betrayed in your last breath
And I am full of blood and dirt and death
But there is hope for you, and even for your brother yet
Cause there’s a Judge and He’ll avenge all
The blood of the oppressed

Abel, you know another man came down
Abel, you know His blood poured on the ground
He was right and He was love
He was buried in the dirt
But He broke free and His blood still
Cries out for the earth

Abel you’re not the only one
Cause it’s been brother against brother/ And father against son
Tribe killing tribe/ Race killing race (even in God’s name)
But the blood on the ground is the same in the veins
Flowing through you Abel and through your brother Cain

Abel one day all will be made right
Abel one day your blood will stop its cry
But til that day Love will fight even in God’s name
To bring justice for the helpless, redemption for Cain
Justice for the helpless, redemption for Cain and Abel

Please don’t fight anymore, be your brother’s keeper
Please don’t fight anymore, be your brother’s keeper
Please don’t fight anymore, be your brother’s keeper
