letra de prodigal son - rick elias

as a boy, i heard a mysterious tale
about a man who seemed destined for h-ll
he felt the heat on his back
and when that ghost train rolled past
for a ride sold all he had to sell
still alive, but given up for dead
when those storms of mercy
rained down on his head

he said, “sometimes fear drives a man away
until there’s nowhere to run
but surely love did not fade away
from the prodigal son”, no

he caught a train running anywhere bound
slowing down just outside his hometown
yes, and when his feet hit that track
man, you know he was never turning back
and you best believe he left without a sound
one more tenant in the house of the dead
you can check in late
they’ll always find you in a bed

sometimes fear drives a man insane
he’ll curse the day he was born
but love surely will not fade away
from the prodigal son
i met the man crossing over state line
he shared his soul as he bargained for mine
yes, i laid my head back
like a fool in the devil’s lap
just a heartbeat from the end of the line
now, with those dark clouds
that filled me with dread
came a storm of mercy
raining down on my head

sometimes fear is covered by faith
and any deed is undone
but surely love did not fade away
from the prodigal son

as i stood there shivering
the rains of mercy poured down
forgiveness drenched the soil of my soul
you would not turn your back
you would not bolt the door
and leave this sinner outside in the cold

who believes he’s forever faithful?
well, he’s the man most likely quick to judge
and i tell you, he’s a brother
the brother of the prodigal son
as surely as bitterness will tear them apart
their father’s forgiveness
will pierce each man’s heart
sometimes pride and fear have their way
sometimes love overcomes
but surely love will not fade away
from the prodigal son
i say, surely love will not fade away
the prodigal son
from the prodigal son
from the prodigal son
