A long time ago (it seems so far away), I slipped away
And I tried so hard to make it on my own
But I tried in vain
I fell deeper and deeper, sinking like a stone
With no way back
But I did not cry for help, I just kept falling down.
And I found I had lost my soul, my hopes and dreams
And the love of my life
I had let it all go to follow after the wind, a fantasy
And I found that I was naked and alone, an empty shell
Was it too late to cry for help, I had to get out
And on my feet again
Like the Prodigal Son I'm returning back home
I repent of my ways and from what I've done
Like the Prodigal Son I'm returning back home
In my spirit I hear You call my name
Like the Prodigal Son I'm returning back home
Forgive me, and let us start again
Like the Prodigal Son I'm returning back home
Back home to You.
When I was by myself I could reflect on the years gone by
And I saw things clear for the first time in a while
Its been a long time
And I'm sorry for the pain I've caused to You
I grieved Your soul
And like the Prodigal Son I reaped what I sowed.
I don't know why I did what I did
And I don't know why I said the things I said
All I know for sure is that
I need to be embraced in Your loving arms
So here I am
A long time ago (it seems so far away), I slipped away
And the road back hasn't been an easy road to climb
Its been a hard ride
But I wouldn't have had it any other way
Because where I'm going is where I'm going to stay
For the rest of my days.
Like the Prodigal Son I returned back home
I repented of my ways and from what I'd done
Like the Prodigal Son I returned back home
In my spirit I heard You call my name
Like the Prodigal Son I returned back home
You forgive me, and and then we started again
Like the Prodigal Son I returned back home
Back home to You.
