Prodigal Son: One Man's Journey
Lyrics
Why Am I Here? (part 1)
Why am I here? And what is the reason for living?
Why am I here? This life seems so unforgiving.
Can anybody tell me? Is there any way for me to know
Why I feel so incomplete, why I feel so all alone?
Not so long ago, but so far away.
I was just a boy, but I was feeling twice my age.
Caught up in a world of compromise,
It was hard to sift between the truth and all the lies.
I thought maybe I could change the world.
With a dream in my heart I could take away the hurt.
But a twist of fate it drove me to hide.
In the only place I knew, and that was deep down inside.
Can anybody tell me? Can anybody tell me?
Don’t tell me tomorrow, tell me today.
Don’t tell me tomorrow, it may be too late.
Can anybody out there show me the way?
On My Own
On my own, feels good to be on my own. No one to tell me where to go. Now that I’m on my own
Free to run, now I am free to run Wherever I choose to run. On my own.
Lost and alone, now I am lost and alone Just look at how far I’ve roamed Now that I’m on my own
Where is the peace they told me about And where is the God who delivers me out of my pain Open my eyes that I might see, that You’re really there That You’re really there… On my own
Your Life Is Like An Island (part one)
Your life is like an island, where you’re trapped on every side You feel as if the whole world’s turned on you And everyone is telling you to make up your own mind But everyone condemns the things you do
So you take off for New York to find that something’s still not right You still hear all the voices in the middle of the night Yet there’s one small voice inside of you who’s dieing to be heard And someday you will have to listen to His every word…
Let Me Tell You A Story
Let me tell you a story about a man named Jesus He was born of a virgin, for He was God’s own Son He quickly grew in wisdom and confounded all the elders And all who knew Him marveled at this man from Galilee
Well He told them of His Father’s plan, but they did not understand For only by God’s Spirit can we know the things of God. Still He healed the sick and raised the dead And showed His love for them But they didn’t know He’d give His life so that we might live again.
If you hear My words and believe in Him who sent me You can live with me eternally If I call to you, you will surely hear me For I am the shepherd and my sheep know me.
Just open your heart to me
Your Life Is Like An Island (part two)
You’ve moved out of the city now, but nothing’s really changed Your thoughts have just been merely re-arranged Soon the voices will start filling up your head once more You take off in your car and lock the door
Now you’re on the road again and you can see no end in sight You still hear all the voices in the middle of the night Still there’s one small voice inside of you who’s dieing to be heard And one day you will have to listen to His every word…
Prove Me Wrong
Every day’s a new day and today it ain’t so bad I’m starting to forget about the awful pain I had I think I can put it all together and get myself on track Every day’s a new day and today it ain’t so bad
I know that there’s a God above They tell me He’s a God of love How could He love and let me live? Explain the pain and death He gives
Prove me wrong He can’t be real If He’s love why don’t I feel it? I’m so lost how could He make me An empty shell and then forget me?
Prove me wrong…
Prove me wrong I want to believe it If He’s love why don’t I feel His hand reach out to me? Where are the arms I long to hold me?
Prove me wrong ‘cause I’m still hiding Running in circles, I’m so frightened I look in the mirror and see I’m dieing
Prove me wrong…
New Way Out
This one makes me feel good. This one makes me alright. This one makes me feel light. With this one I stay up all night.
And it feels so good. And I want to get higher. Yeah it feels so good, but I can’t let go, no I can’t let go.
Wasting my time. Taking my time. Trying a new way out. Wasting my time. I’m standing in line. Trying a new way out.
There ain’t no use denying I’m wasting my time. Trying a new way out. There ain’t no use crying, I know that I’m dieing. Trying a new way out.
And it feels so good. And I want to get higher. Yeah it feels so good, but I can’t let go, no I can’t let go.
Wasting my time. Taking my time. Trying a new way out. Wasting my time. I’m standing in line. Trying a new way out. There ain’t no use denying I’m wasting my time. Trying a new way out. There ain’t no use crying, I know that I’m dieing. I’m trying a new way out.
Trying a new way, trying a new way out. New way out… new way out… new way out… new way out…
Why Am I Here? (part 2)
With no where to turn, I stumble along Trying each road as it comes along Someone said there’s a narrow path, I think you should take it Well I tried for a while, but I didn’t think I could make it
An easier road I thought I’d find Now I feel I’m running out of time That feeling inside’s getting harder to hide And the ache in my soul is a definite sign
So tell me again, ‘cause I can’t remember the way. Please tell me again, ‘cause I can’t remember that Name. Don’t tell me tomorrow, tell me today Don’t tell me tomorrow, it may be too late Can anybody out there show me the way?
Listen With Your Heart
I feel like I’m not getting anywhere. I wonder why I sit and stare. Thinking of those far away lands. Restless ocean and the burning sand. Thinking of the here and now. The skies grow dark with the thunderclouds. Wishing it would rain somehow. To wash away the lonely hours.
Still I know if I call on You. You’ll be there to pull me through But sometimes I don’t feel worthy of The life You’ve given or Your love
Listen with your heart to the words I’m saying I’m not trying to tell you what to do Listen with your heart to the God of heaven And He will grant it unto you
Listen with your heart if it’s peace you’re after Go into your room and pray alone Listen with your heart you will hear Him answer Even if you’re far away from home Listen with your heart…
One of these days You’re going to bring me home. Out of this place and I’ll never be alone. One of these days I will say good-bye. To the emptiness and the pain inside.
Still feeling like a stranger in my hometown. Feels like the whole world’s upside down. I keep on moving but time stands still. When will this turn around?
How Could You Do This To Me?
You brought me here and left me all alone You’ve taken away everything I own My friends, my family, and now my home How could You do this to me?
I tried my best to be faithful and true You know I’ve never given up on You Is there something missing? Something I cannot see? How could You do this to me?
After all I’ve done, after how after how I’ve cried After all my pain and sacrifice If You want my life, just take it now Cause it doesn’t matter anyhow
How could You do this to me?
Take This Heart
Where were you when I hung the stars from the sky? Where were you when I calmed the sea? Where were you when I formed a man from the dust? Where were you when I made a blind man see?
Remember, You made me from clay. Will those same hands crush me today! ? Like rivers and lakes that run dry, Surely I don’t want to die!
Take this heart of mine For I have seen You with my own eyes. Take this heart of mine. Please remove these doubts from my mind.
Though He slay me I’ll trust in Him. I know He can do anything. I’m so sorry for my sin Now I know I’ll trust in Him. I’ll trust in Him.
True Confession
Bless me Father for I have sinned I’ve been living on the outside looking in
Hiding away in the dark of night I’ve been living in sin but it feels alright
Telling myself that it ain’t too bad But what’s slipping away is the truth I have My dreaming takes away the sting Of the tears that fall from the pain life brings
Bless me Father for I have sinned It’s been months since I’ve done anything I’m living my life like You’re not there I see the lost world but I don’t care
Father I want to live again I want to live for You I want to be Your friend
Please Father say this battle’s won And on this earth Your will be done
Welcome Home
What will He say when He sees my face? I hope He’ll let me in the door I’m standing here, I’m naked inside Wondering what I am waiting for
Well I’m tired of dreaming And my heart it aches for Your touch And it’s not just a feeling, I need Your love
I feel so ashamed when I think of the way I’ve squandered the treasures You’ve given to me And I’ve tried every way to hide from the truth That all You really wanted was me
See my hands how they tremble as I reach up to open the door Will You even remember me anymore?
Welcome home, welcome home I’ve been waiting for You welcome home You look tired and weary and it’s cold outside Come and sit by me we’ll get warm by the fire I know you’ve been wandering and I know how you’ve cried But there’s a place at my table for you here tonight
Welcome home, welcome home We’ve been waiting for you welcome home
But Lord I’ve sinned against You, see the scars cover me I don’t deserve to be in Your family Well you were lost for a while but returned to the light And there’s a place at my table for you here tonight Welcome home
Why Am I Here (part 3)
Now I know why I’m here and I know my reason for living I know it’s not to blame or criticize I’m only here so that Your name be glorified
I hear Your voice in the wind, saying, “Come follow me.” The time is near the end. Are you too blind to see?
Don’t wait ‘till tomorrow, He’s calling today Don’t wait ‘till tomorrow, it may be too late
Come if you are thirsty…
