Lyrics
Prodigal Son
Massa
1 I'm standing in your drive way, porch lights on
It's been shining every night that I've been gone
You told me not to go out there, look what waits at the door
Dancing and laughing like a fool, I thought that I knew best
Chorus
I wanted to see if I could make it on my own
Oh my Father, I've come home.
2 There's a road through the desert that lead me back to you
A road of decisions; always surrounded by fear
I walked with some supposed friends though they soon disappeared.
In the wilderness I found you, waiting to be seen
Ch I can't believe I tried to make it on my own
Oh my father I've come home, Oh my father, I've come home
Bridge
Even someone like me can change their mind
When I stopped acting a fool and listened to the wise
Then I could hear your words whispering through the lies/cries
One by one, every single one
3 I'm standing in your doorway, porch lights on
You never forgot about me, you knew where I belonged.
Father forgive me for all that I've done wrong
I give thanks that you still call me your son/child.
I can't believe I tried to make it on my own
Oh my Father I've come home, I can't believe I tried to make it on my own
Oh my Father I've come home Oh my Father I've come home
