Not Motley Crue | Prodigal Son (LYRIC VIDEO)

Verse 1 (Luke 15:11–13)

There was a man with two sons
I was the restless one
Said, “Give me what’s already mine”
Before my life’s begun
I packed it all and hit the road
Chasing neon nights
Spent it fast on reckless dreams
Burning out my life

Pre-Chorus

Freedom tasted sweet
Till the money ran dry

Chorus (big, emotional, anthem)

I went too far
I lost my way
I burned through everything
But I’m coming home
Yeah, I’m coming home
Back to where I belong

Verse 2 (Luke 15:14–16)

Then the famine hit the land
And the lights went down
I sold myself to stay alive
In a broken town
Feeding pigs in empty fields
With an empty soul
Wishing I could eat their scraps
Lower than I know

Pre-Chorus

Rock bottom screaming
“Boy, you’re done”

Chorus

I went too far
I lost my way
I burned through everything
But I’m coming home
Yeah, I’m coming home
Back to where I belong

Bridge (half-time, power-ballad moment) (Luke 15:17–19)

Then I came to my senses
Said, “What have I done?”
My father’s servants eat like kings
While I’m dying in the sun
I’ll rise up, I’ll go back
I’ll fall on my knees and say
“I’m not worthy to be your son
Just let me work and stay”

(build)
I’ll take the shame
I’ll take the blame

Verse 3 (Luke 15:20–21)

While I was still a long way off
He saw me in the dust
He ran to me, He held me tight
Before I said a word
I said, “Father, I have sinned
I don’t deserve your name”
But mercy cut me off right there
Before I could explain

Pre-Chorus

Love came running
Down the road

Final Chorus (huge, triumphant)

I went too far
I lost my way
I burned through everything
But I’m coming home
Yeah, I’m coming home
And He still calls me son

Outro / Tag (Luke 15:22–24)

Put the robe on my back
Put the ring on my hand
I was dead, now I’m alive
I was lost, now I’m found
Hear the music, start the fire
We were made to celebrate
This lost son’s home tonight

(repeat last line)
This lost son’s home tonight
