Prodigal Soul
Prodigal Soul: A Journey of Redemption and Homecoming
Lyrics
The sun comes up alone
The day begins without companionship.
Like a funeral for my home
It feels like a mourning ceremony for my place of belonging.
Like a mirror for my soul
Reflecting the state of my inner self like a mirror.
But I should've known better
Regretting not recognizing the truth earlier.
I was feeling like skin and bones
Experiencing emotional and physical emptiness.
I kept chasing after these ghost
Pursuing elusive goals or desires.
I kept giving up these hopes
Abandoning optimistic expectations.
When I found your letter
Discovering a letter, possibly significant or revealing.
I am Yours and Yours alone
Affirming commitment to a singular entity.
Forgive me for my wandering on my own
Seeking forgiveness for personal exploration.
I'm a prodigal soul
Acknowledging a wayward and rebellious spirit.
And I want to come home
Expressing a desire to return to a place of belonging.
I can't make it alone
Recognizing dependence and inability to navigate life alone.
Won't You bring me home?
Pleading to be brought back home.
Tried to start on something new
Attempting to initiate a new phase or project.
Tried to blame myself on You
Attributing blame for personal struggles.
But my nightmares all came true
Facing the realization of fears and anxieties.
I felt so unsteady
Feeling emotionally unstable.
I still see Your face when I close my eyes and
Retaining a vivid image of a significant person.
I think about You wide awake at night and
Contemplating the subject even during wakeful nights.
How far do I have to go to realize
Questioning the distance needed for self-realization.
What I know already
Acknowledging awareness of known truths.
I am Yours and Yours alone
Reaffirming exclusive dedication to a singular entity.
Forgive me for my wandering on my own
Apologizing for straying from a prescribed path.
I'm a prodigal soul
Recognizing a wandering and wayward nature.
I was running on empty
Being in a state of spiritual and emotional depletion.
I was feeling so low
Experiencing a deep emotional low.
When You made me a promise
Recalling a promise made during a challenging time.
To never let me go
An assurance of not being abandoned.
I was falling to pieces
Falling apart emotionally.
When You carried me home
Being carried back to a place of security and comfort.
When You told me you loved me
Receiving declarations of love and acceptance.
And my prodigal soul
Acknowledging a wayward and rebellious spirit in one's dreams.
In my dreams, all is forgiven
Experiencing forgiveness in the realm of dreams.
In my dreams, I'm by Your side
Feeling a sense of companionship and closeness in dreams.
But when I wake up somethings missing
Waking up to a sense of incompleteness or longing.
Can You free me from my prodigal soul?
Seeking liberation from a wayward and rebellious spirit.
Won't You bring me home?
Pleading to be brought back home.
