Bread of Life Orphanage - The Prodigal's Lament lyrics

rate me

The Prodigal's Lament

The sound of children playing, laughing, singing,

A sunny day at my childhood home

in my memory lingering

I fell and lay on the ground

I was lifted up

As a hand reached down.

My Father

One day the glitter and glow lured me

To wander

Away from home, the truths I'd known

The ways of my Father

The journey was my own

No restraints to confound me.

Seeking the rainbow's end

Allusions surrounded me.

I close my eyes

And I can see

He waits there for me

Watching from the window

With love and hope eternal

Waiting for the day

I'll return

Oh, so many times

In this lonely life of mine

I've dreamed to see the day.

Can I find my way

Back to His home and heart?

My true home,

My true heart.

So tomorrow,

just like today.

I’ll arise, I’ll exist, but I'm still

So far away.

The emptiness in my heart

Is calling me back home.

I know my Father's waiting

I know where I belong.

Father, I'm coming home

I'm coming home.<br />
