I don’t have a good explanation
But I hope he finds one
And can live with the answer
And I wish I could offer some consolation
And I wish I could save him
I’d take his place
And if this is my meager love
Then I think I understand it
If this is my love then I know why God was so damn heavy handed
He’s prodigal, he’s beautiful
He’s looking for heaven and finds only hell
He is wondering, he is wandering
He is looking for evidence of new beginnings
And I pray
He’ll come back to the father
And I pray
he won’t go any farther
The scars on his heart are bleeding something profusely And I wish I could fix them
But I think that he’d miss them
And the world around him gets darker with every memory And he knows what’s evil
But he can’t find a saviour
And if this is my meager love
Then I think I understand it
If this is my love then I know why God was so damn heavy handed
He’s prodigal, he’s beautiful
He’s looking for heaven and finds only hell
He is wondering, he is wandering
He is looking for evidence of new beginnings
And I pray
He’ll come back to the father
And I pray
he won’t go any farther
And my heart breaks
And he runs off with the pieces
And he strays
As I cry out for Jesus
And I pray
