Lyrics

Prodigal Children
By Beverly Graham ©

Refrain:

Prodigal Children
Daughters and sons
How will we know they've returned if they come
Who'll light the fire
Who'll set the feast
And how will we know if they have conquered their beast

Life ain't always easy and sometimes it is sad
But we savor all the good times and we muddle through the bad
And if in time the dreams you find ain't exactly what you had in mind
You got to run away run away back home

Sometimes we spend our time just working through the pain
Admitting that the life we chose is causing way to much strain
There's nothing you have ever done
To make it that you can't come home again
You gotta run away, run away back home

refrain:

bridge:

like a bolt of lightening you come shooting through the womb
in a hurry to explode just like a sonic boom
I close my eyes I squeeze them tight
I hold my breath as you take flight
I lift you up
I say a prayer
Did you know that I will always be there?
I will always be there

You are my prodigal children
You are my daughters, you are my son
How will I know you have returned if you come
I will light the fire
I will set the feast
But how will I know if you have conquered your beast

Conquer your beast and run away home

You can always come home
