Son Lyrics

That boy had everything

A peaceful life and a loving family

But still he wanted something more

So he packed his bags and he left his home to search

Went to a land far away

Spent all he had living for today

But then tomorrow came

And he regrets the choices that he made

Then famine hit the town

The boy once rich is a homeless beggar now

So he decides to go

Back to a place he once called home

Not knowing if his dad

Could ever forgive and take him back

But at least the servants have

Food to eat and a place to lay their heads

But as the boy returns

The story takes a turn

His dad sees him from afar

And runs to him with open arms

The boy falls down at his feet

Void of all his self-esteem

Covered head to toe in filth

Crying tears of shame and guilt

Make me a servant says the boy

That's all I ask and nothing more

Cause I betrayed your precious love

I don't deserve to be a son

But in this moment of despair

A tender touch meets him there

His dad takes him by the hands

Helps him up and then he says

You were lost and now you're found

We must celebrate you now

Gather all the family

Kill the calf so we can feast

Cause who I say is who you are

It doesn't matter just how far

You try to run away from me

My son forever you will be

My son forever you will be

My son forever you will be

My son forever you will be

Every time I read this tale

I see that foolish boy in myself

But his father loved him well

So he's back to where he was always meant to dwell
