lyrics

CAME TO HIS SENSES

I feel so ashamed
And I know I have only myself to blame
Could have stayed, but I made
Such wrong decisions
I said to my father I can’t wait
Now give me my share of your estate
Went away and now I find myself in this position

CHORUS

Going home, coming to my senses
All alone, have no more defences
Here on my own, I can see
This is not the kind of life for me

Squandered it all, living wild
Like a stubborn and independent child
Now I’m here feeling so hungry and alone
I had friends, when I started
But a fool and his money are soon, soon parted
For my friends soon deserted me,
Leaving me to reap what I had sown

CHORUS

BRIDGE 1
All I have left, when all is said and done
I must say to my father
I’m no longer worthy to be called your son
But when I saw him there, waiting for me
Robed with his blessings
I felt so free
Being home is the only place to be

BRIDGE 2
Put sandals on his feet
And the best robe bring
Put upon his finger
The finest ring
Kill the fattened calf
Let’s dance and sing
Of his returning home

This son of mine was lost
But now he is found
He went away, was led astray
Now safe and sound
Came to his senses
And homeward bound
He found his way back home

ENDING

Let us celebrate and bring
Music, laughter, dancing and singing
Let’s have feast and let’s start rejoicing
Now that my son’s come home (x2)
