Prodigal Son
(Written and Recorded by Kim Burrell)


What happen to the days when we use to talk
In my ears I hear every word you say
Was it my own mistake
Mistake that pushed me out the door
I said wouldn’t be back no more
You told me you love me and you still care
You said You’d always be there
Rebellion made me leave your side to do my own thing
So ashamed inside selfish pride to blame
Not that my eyes could see what my heart believed what ears shouldn’t be
I need shelter for my soul

So I’m sing ooh
Don’t leave me out in the cold Oh no
Ooh Don’t leave me waiting so long
I know I was wrong
I know I was so wrong Ooh

What happened to the times when we use to walk
Hand in hand I’d follow Your Spirit would guide
Ooh How could I have been so blind
My blinded eyes wouldn’t let me see
What You saw what be best for me
But You told me You wouldn’t let me go of my hand
Thought I strength to stand
But temptation let me far astray into the night
Naked sins to bare I really need a place to hide
I search inside only to see how you looked at me as you died on Calvary
I know I’ve been here once before

So I’m sing ooh
Don’t leave me out in the cold Oh no
Ooh, Don’t leave me (for) waiting so long
I know I was wrong
I know I was so wrong Ooh

I wanna come home
It’s been so long I just wanna come home
