a prodigal son once strayed from his father to travel a land of hunger and pain and now i can see the end of my journey i m going to heaven again i leave you the day to help all your neighbors i leave you the night to solemnly pray so try to repent and ask for forgiveness we ll meet up in heaven someday goodbye to this world with all of its sorrows goodbye to the fields that i used to roam i m going away where life is eternal my shepherd is callin me home from out of the sky he s coming to meet me to wash all my sins and call me his own his servants will bring a ring for my finger and never no more will i roam and now i must go back home to my maker where kindness and love will make us as one so try to be strong if you re ever tempted just remember the prodigal son
