Lyrics

Driving close to the edge,
Living life on the fray,
like the prodigal son,
doin' it.... my own way.
searchin' the street,
just hopin' to find,
a piece of the piece that was gone from my mind.
The evidence was all just a sign, that the
life i was livin' was way out of line.

Then a friend on the street
made it easy to see
my life was a prison,
and i need to be free....
He said, "Look at the mess
of a life you have made!
The lines on your face show how
hard you have played! But, like the
prodigal son, who was tattered and torn,
you can startover again!
YOU MUST BE REBORN!"

Now the words that he spoke
stuck a knife in my heart.
He was tellin me
that I could make a new start.
He said, "Turn away !
from the life that caused pain.
Turn it over to God,
and start over again!"

He said, "Look at the mess
of a life you have made!
The lines on your face show
how far you have strayed.
Like the prodigal son who was tattered and torn
you can start over again.!
YOU MUST BE REBORN!

So I turned my back on the world's charms.
Then I went back into my father's arms.
Traded this life that was tattered and torn
for a NEW life, where i've been REBORN!
The lines on my face that show you where i have been
are a gentle reminder of my life of sin.
I no longer have to desire to roam,
since i've made my way back to my Father's home!

So take a look at the mess of a life you have made.
The lines on your face show the price that you've paid.
He'll take a life that is tattered and torn,
and give a new start.....
with a life that's reborn.
