Lyrics

I wore my pride like gold
Thought I could take the heat
New roads looked good at first
Till they cut me at the knees
I spent my luck too fast
I spent my name too cheap
Now every empty room
Keeps asking me to see

I hear that mercy call
Right through the dust and flame
I made my own hard bed
Now I call out your name
I’m tired of running wild
Tired of this hungry shame
If there’s still room for me
I’m coming home again

Prodigal Son
Left my comfort zone to be on my own
I fell in a trap
And led a stray
I return back at your door
Prodigal Son
Prodigal Son
Take me in once more

I broke the better thing
For a mouthful of ash
Chased every shiny dare
And every one burned fast
I know the road I took
Don’t lead to where I’m bound
So I turned my face around
And let the old me drown

I hear that mercy call
Right through the dust and flame
I made my own hard bed
Now I call out your name
I’m tired of running wild
Tired of this hungry shame
If there’s still room for me
I’m coming home again

Prodigal Son
Left my comfort zone to be on my own
I fell in a trap
And led a stray
I return back at your door
Prodigal Son
Prodigal Son
Take me in once more

I don’t need the high place
I don’t need the crowd
I just need your open arms
To say it’s okay now
Wash the dirt from my hands
Put a ring on my fear
I was far, now I’m here
And I’m staying here

Prodigal Son
Left my comfort zone to be on my own
I fell in a trap
And led a stray
I return back at your door
Prodigal Son
Prodigal Son
Take me in once more
