Prodigal
Prodigal Reflections: A Journey of Redemption
Lyrics
Living on my own, thinking for myself
Expressing independence, self-reliance, and personal decision-making.
Castles in the sand, temporary wealth
Building things that won't last, seeking temporary material success.
Walls are falling down, storms are closing in
Facing challenges, experiencing difficulties, and feeling overwhelmed.
Tears have filled my eyes, here I am again
Feeling sorrowful and regretful, acknowledging a cycle of mistakes.
And I've held out as long as I can
Enduring a struggle but reaching a point of surrender.
And now I'm letting go and holding out my hand
Letting go of control and seeking help or support.
Daddy, here I am again,
Addressing God as a father figure, confessing wrong choices, and questioning worthiness.
Will you take me back tonight
-I went and made the world my friend,
-And it left me high and dry
-I drag Your name back through the mud
-That You first found me in
-Not worthy to be called Your son
-Is this to be my end?
-Daddy, here I am
Repeating the plea for forgiveness and acceptance.
Here I am again
-Daddy, here I am
-Here I am again
-Curse this morning sun, drags me in to one more day
Expressing frustration with the consequences of past actions and the unpredictability of life.
Of reaping what I've sown, of living with my shame
-Welcome to my world, and the life that I have made
-Where one day you're a prince, the next day your a slave
-And I've held out as long as I can
Resisting difficulties but recognizing the need for help.
And now I'm letting go and holding out my hand
Repeating the theme of surrender and seeking assistance.
Daddy, here I am again,
Reiterating the confession of mistakes and the desire for reconciliation with God.
Will you take me back tonight
-I went and made the world my friend,
-And it left me high and dry
-I drag Your name back through the mud
-That You first found me in
-Not worthy to be called Your son
-Is this to be my end?
-Daddy, here I am
Continuing the plea for mercy and acceptance.
Here I am again
-Daddy, here I am
-Here I am again
-And I've held out as long as I can
Emphasizing the act of letting go and reaching out for help.
And NOW I'm letting go and holding out my hand
-Daddy, here I am again,
Repeating the pattern of confession, seeking forgiveness, and questioning one's worthiness.
Will you take me back tonight
-I went and made the world my friend,
-And it left me high and dry
-I drag Your name back through the mud
-That You first found me in
-Not worthy to be called Your son
-Is this to be my end?
-Daddy, here I am
Final plea for acceptance and reconciliation with the divine.
Here I am again
