The Prodigal 歌词

I was there watching you from the day You're born, from the first step you made I prayed courage as you walk on by And gave you the best a mother could do One day in my saddest time you asked your freedom and left me behind The lonely days came into weeks came into months came into years Dear child, come back to me again Even in my deepest pain, I thought of you every now and then Dear child, I do really care Even when you broke my heart, took those earthly things and depart Dear child, you know I love you still I've counted all the days and Nights waiting that one day you'll realize Comes a time all your things were gone And you wish to start from gold to none In the darkest corner you cried Regrets and guilt flooded your heart and mind And your hunger covers all the shame and set your feet way back to me The longing years came into months came into weeks came into days Dear child Dear child, come back to me again Even in my deepest pain, I thought of you every now and then Dear child, I do really care Even when you broke my heart, took those earthly things and depart Dear child, you know I love you still I've counted all the days and Nights waiting that one day you'll realize Dear child Dear child Dear child
