lyrics

Prodigal son, left his first love
So prone to run, to silence the dove
He'll wander on, filling his cup
He'll see it's all gone, all he loves dries up

Oh, he'll try to stay full but oh, try as he might
Lonely emptiness starts to eclipse all the light
And his soul is so lonely, an orphan unwanted, his
Mind will betray him old ghosts start to haunt him
I know that your crying, God, I know that you care cause you
Knitted him together and you counted each hair
And just when he thinks that he'll die and die alone cause there's
No God in Heaven that he could ever know

That's when you take his hand
You hold him close and
You show him
The love that's been there from the start
