Their eyes are sparkling,
and it's because of you
Inspiring laughter --
it's a task you're compelled to do
You are the jester
You're the silliest guy in town
But it's so tragic;
you think that's why you're kept around
You've walked this journey all alone
You've faced your demons on your own
They're dungeoned deep inside your soul
Will you open up?
Will you let them go?
Oh, Gabriel, don't fight alone
These people care for you
Gabriel, come take a stand
Come be the man that I detect in you
I know you've got good things to say
but you think your thoughts are all cliche
It's time to stop the self-chastisement
Drop the fear and guilt
You are innocent
And Gabriel, if there's a hell,
it ain't no place for you
Gabriel, come take a stand
Come be the man that I detect in you
Gabriel, respect yourself
as others respect you
Gabriel, come take a stand
Come be the man that I detect in you
