Prodigal Son

Oh no matter how I try
To get the things that I think I need
I could sail the seas and win the lotteries
But still I know I would not feel peace
Oh no matter what I try
To do to even up the score
With the greatest care I could make it fair
Still I know I'd be wanting more

Seems like the way life is set you take what you can get
You either eat or you are eaten
If you struggle and survive eventually you'll die
For this is no Garden of Eden

What if this all was a dream that we all have agreed to become
And we've all turned away from our seeing our face in everyone
And like a prodigal son who has been on the run all alone
And we think Love is gone but it's just waiting for us to come home
To come home

Oh everywhere I look
There are reflections of me
Guilt and misery ugliness and greed
Everywhere in the world I see
Oh now that I have had
A glimpse of the light
The hate I used to see that was outside of me
Helped me believe that I was right

Seems as if another's hate is threatening my fate
But only if we're separated
Hate is just a call for Love it's not what we're made of
We just forget we're consecrated

What if this all was a dream that we all have agreed to become
And we've all turned away from our seeing the grace in everyone
And like a prodigal son who has been on the run all alone
And we think Love is gone but it's just waiting for us to come home
And like a prodigal son who has been on the run all alone
And we think Love is gone but it's just waiting for us to come home
To come home
