The sun comes up alone Like a funeral for my home Like a mirror for my soul But I should've known better I was feeling like skin and bones I kept chasing after these ghosts I kept giving up on these hopes When I found Your letter I am Yours and Yours alone Forgive me for my wandering on my own I'm a prodigal soul And I want to come home I can't make it alone, yeah Won't You bring me home? Tried to start on something new Tried to blame myself on You But my nightmares all came true I felt so unsteady I still see Your face when I close my eyes and I think about You wide awake at night and How far do I have to go to realize What I know already? I am Yours and Yours alone Forgive me for my wandering on my own I'm a prodigal soul And I want to come home I can't make it alone Won't You bring me home? I was running on empty I was feeling so low When You made me a promise To never let me go I was falling to pieces When You carried me home When You told me You loved me And my prodigal soul And I want to come home I can't make it alone And I want to come home Yeah, I want to come home I'm a prodigal soul Yeah, but I'm coming home I can't make it, I can't make it alone, yeah And I want to come home, yeah In my dreams, all is forgiven In my dreams, I'm by Your side But when I wake up, something's missing Can You free me from my prodigal soul? Yeah, won't You bring me home?

It's been a long time since you felt peace In the valley you made where you're not meant to be Where the shame throws shadows on you But don't you forget That you're headed to more But you've settled for less Don't buy the lie "it's as good as it gets" The same feet that left you lost and alone Are the very same feet that can bring you back home Wherever you are, whatever you did It's a page in your book, but it isn't the end Your Father will meet you with arms open wide This is where your heart belongs Come running like a prodigal There will be nights, when you hear whispers Of the life you once knew, don't let it linger Cause there's a grace that falls upon you Don't you forget In the places you're weak He is very strong Don't ever believe "you don't deserve love" The same God that protects you when you're lost and alone Is the very same God that is calling you home Wherever you are, whatever you did It's a page in your book, but it isn't the end Your Father will meet you with arms open wide This is where your heart belongs Come running like a prodigal Oh... Let your life be made new Oh... As you come into view Your Father's not waiting, no he's running too He's running straight to you Wherever you are, whatever you did It's a page in your book, but it isn't the end Your Father will meet you with arms open wide This is where your heart belongs Come running like a prodigal
