Prodigal Son

歌詞

When I left my father's house I was well-supplied I made a mistake and I did wrong And I'm dis-satisfied I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home And acknowledge I've done wrong I'll go back to my father's house I'll fall down on my face Say that I'm unworthy I'll seek a servant's place I'll go back to my father's house The place I love so dear For there they have plenty to eat And I'm a-starving here I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home And acknowledge I've done wrong Father seen him coming He met him with a smile Threw his arms around him Says "This is my wandering child" Father said to his servants "Go kill a fatted calf Invite both friends and relatives My son's come home at last" I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home And acknowledge I've done wrong Banquet's in procession All sorrow has passed Father's heart was filled with joy His son come home at last The elder son was jealous I believe I heard him say "Gave my brother his portion I never went away" I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home And acknowledge I've done wrong Father said to his elder son "You've been both good and kind Not a calf I'll give unto thee But all I have is thine" I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home I believe I'll go back home And acknowledge I've done wrong
