Prodigal – Cameron Gwaltney
What can I gain from loving you?
Will you do what I want you to do?
Will you lay in the ground and give me your crown of gold and silver?
Will you let me leave with all of my fleeting treasure and prize?
I will run away, I will run away
I will run away, to a distant place
Where gold fuels the flame, where gold fuels the flame
Where gold fuels the flame of my heart’s desire
This land is perfect, I have everything desired by man
Only days later, my treasures have managed to slip through my hands
I’m down to my knees, my pride has deceased, all I want is to be free
But this land is holding me, I’m struggling to breathe
Father, could you still love me?
Because I ran away, because I ran away
Because I ran away, I have no home
Ever since that day, ever since that day
Ever since that day, I’ve had no soul
That house isn’t too far away
My heart is beating faster now
Is grace still strong enough to save my life from complete disaster?
Coming here was a bad idea
I’m taken by my fear
But I’m just footsteps away
I’ll take a chance just to see what grace will say
When I ran away, when I ran away
When I ran away, You waited everyday
I want you to say, I want you to say
I want you to say that I’m your disgrace
But all you could say
All you could say is “grace”
