Our Prodigal Son (radio mix) lyrics
Robert and Bobby were the best of twins
They were in the game till the end to win
They both loved Rock, Folk and old time Blues
Was sometimes a Christian, sometimes tangled up as a Jew
They tried to hide their roots and their past
Said they’d joined a circus to get away fast
But they couldn’t hide from where they came
From up in the midwest iron ore range
You might think they’re two, but they’re one
Both rolled up as the Prodigal Son
After the crash when he’d gotten clean
He seemed tranquil and no longer mean
He hid from the rat race turning wheel
And no longer asked ‘How does it feel’?
At Woodstock it was a no show
You said ‘Not me, no, no, no’
The hippies scene was dead and well done
It wasn’t for you, our Prodigal Son
The years went by and you stayed away
You’d pop up here and there sometimes to play
They said you were finished, said you were gone
You knew you just had to keep on keeping on
Like the wild rover looking for divine love
You said you put all your faith in Christ above
When that phase was over and was done
You returned to us, our Prodigal Son
You’ve lived fast and without remorse
Driven on by a rumbling force
Money came and money went
Can it compensate for your torment?
You seen so many friends pass on
They were here yesterday, now they’re gone
You say ‘We’re only passing through’
Well that’s the Prodigal Son’s point of view
You taught me to just believe my eyes
You said this world is a whirlpool of lies
The lions of Judah will all roar
When you’re knocking on heaven’s door
We’ll be sad and lonesome when you’re gone
You’ll return to your heavenly home, our Prodigal Son
I’ll remember you when you’re gone
And flown up towards the Sun
All that will remain will be your song
I’d say ‘I was proud to know you, our Prodigal Son’!
