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
