Lyrics: Prodigal

[heatherrae]

Living on my own,
Thinking for myself,
Castles in the sand,
Temporary wealth.
The walls are falling down,
The storms are closing in,
And tears have filled my eyes,
Here I am again.

And I've held out as long
As I can.
Now I'm letting go and
Holding out my hand.

Daddy, here I am again.
Will You take me back tonight?
I went and made the world my friend,
And it left me high and dry.
I drag Your name back through the mud
That You first found me in.
Not worthy to be called Your son,
Is this to be my end?
Daddy, here I am...
Here I am again.

Curse this morning sun
Drags me in to one more day
Of reaping what I've sown,
Of living with my shame.
Welcome to my world
And the life that I have made,
Where one day you're a prince,
The next day you're a slave.

And I've held out as long
As I can.
Now I'm letting go and
Holding out my hand.

Daddy, here I am again.
Will You take me back tonight?
I went and made the world my friend,
And it left me high and dry.
I drag Your name back through the mud
That You first found me in.
Not worthy to be called Your son,
Is this to be my end?
Daddy, here I am...
Here I am again.

And I've held out as long
As I can.
Now I'm letting go and
Holding out my hand.

Daddy, here I am again.
Will You take me back tonight?
I went and made the world my friend,
And it left me high and dry.
I drag Your name back through the mud
That You first found me in.
Not worthy to be called Your son,
Is this to be my end?
Daddy, here I am...
Here I am again.
