V1 The car door slammed, she drove away Tears fell down like pouring rain The words she spoke they cut you like a knife "I hate you and I don't want you in my life." Now you think about her all the time As the days turn into years You pray that God will keep her safe And you wonder if He hears Then a voice breaks through the silence Tears fall on the phone She said "I'm sorry that I hurt you I wanna come back home."
Chorus When the prodigal returns Tears of joy will flow And everyone will know That the Grace of God is real When the prodigal returns The bridges that were burned Will be built again by faith And it's always worth the wait When the prodigal returns
V2 I find myself too many times Running away from what I know is right I go my own way always to find The grass is never greener on the other side Every dark and lonely road I've known Has lead me back to you As your voice speaks to this rebel heart I know what I must do
