Son of Mine Lyrics

Looking over distant fields, what do my eyes espy

A shimmering form upon the horizon, the faint echo of a cry

Is that you my son, so far from might if

Are you really coming home

Run my son, as I run to you, You won't stand alone

Place a robe around his shoulder

This son of mine was lost

But now he's found

Rise my son, you will not beg, my pardon you will have

No pleading for my mercy son, no walk the servant's path

You were dead but are alive, Lost but now restored

Now take your place at the family table

And live your past no more

Place a ring upon his finger

For this son of mine was dead

But now he's home alive

Call your brother, servants, call, let him hear the news

What's done is done, a new day dawns, a choice we make, so choose

Why do you choose to spoil my day

Your whining that 'it's just not fair'

I thought you'd want to come and celebrate

Your father's joy to share

But all you want to do is hide away

In anger and in shame

Though everything I have is surely yours

But your bitterness remains

Put those sandals on his feet

This Son of mine's restored

Welcome home boy

Slay the fatted calf today

This son of mine is home

Welcome home
