prodigal
Prodigal Lover
The devil ain't nothing but a fallen angel
And God sure knows sometimes I'm one
I just wanna be your prodigal lover
Welcomed back in to your arms
They say you can't take more than you give
I wish I knew back then what I know now
Lord knows, that ain't no way to live
I pray I can make it up to you somehow
I spent forty days in the desert wandering
I prayed all night at Gethsemane
Seems I stand accused of squandering
All the great gifts bestowed on me
The devil ain't nothing but a fallen angel
And God sure knows sometimes I'm one
I just wanna be your prodigal lover
Welcomed back into your arms
They say we've all got a beast within
That don't mean we gotta keep it fed
They say we've all got original sin
But with God's grace i'm going to lift my head
I used to think that I was king bee
I ruled a world of earthly delights
I thought that's the way it'd always be
I should have known there'd be a price
BRIDGE
All I'm askin for is absolution baby
Maybe you could find a way to say maybe
I know i've been lame and I know I've been blind
Forgive me baby but you gotta keep in mind
Forgive me baby but you gotta keep in mind
The devil ain't nothing but a fallen angel
And God sure knows some times I'm one
I just wanna be your prodigal lover
Welcomed back in to your arms
I just wanna be your prodigal lover
Welcomed back into your arms
