about

Ballad based on the story of the prodigal son

lyrics

Once upon a time, seems like so long ago,
I made my mind to leave
Taking what was mine and running away
Finally to be free
With the ones that I loved behind me
I'd take whatever road lay before me
And never once would I think of the world I'l left behind

Finally, I've come to the place where I see
What a fool I am
Living out my life thinking only of me
Taking what I can
Now the friends that I'd bought have left me
And so I stand here so sad and lonely
My one desire to return to the place that once was mine

So take me home
I can't go on
I need your love to make me strong

Now it's up to you. Do I go? Do I stay?
Tell me what to do
Tell me you forgive me for running away
And you'll let me prove
That I can't live my life without you
And when I'm home with my arms about you
I'll show you then that I never could leave my home again
