Prodigal Dad

Well excuse me

I don't mean to complain

But there's something I've just gotta say

Something I just can't get off my brain

I need to tell you

My heart breaks everyday

As I think of how it used to be

And you tell me it can never be the same

I've got to give myself some change

No matter what we do or say

Love won't go away

This song goes out to my prodigal dad

When you left it hurt me more than words can say

You were the best friend that a boy ever had

Do you really think it's best you went away?

Prodigal dad

The day you left

I felt so all alone

Man I felt just like an orphan

Then my Father came and held me like a son

And I looked at all I had

Where there used to be a dad

There's so much more than a dad

And maybe

Maybe you'll hear me out

And see I'm learning what God's mercy's all about

And my love

Is deeper than the pain

And I'll forgive you everyday

Because love never goes

Away
