about

Taken from the album Wayward Son

lyrics

Wayward Son

Forgive me father I have gambled and lost
all the fruits of your labour now I’m paying the cost
You always loved me not what I’ve become
I can’t help being your wayward son

Forgive me mother for I could not be there
Through your pain and your suffering I had elsewhere to care
You always held me when dark times would come
Then I repaid you like a wayward son

Like a wayward son, like a wayward son
Maybe there’s a day maybe there’s a way to come home

Once I had reason but now I have none
Just lame excuses of a wayward son

Forgive me Jesus I have cursed your sweet name
And befriended the devils of fortune, favour and fame
You always saw through the things I had done
And are set to receive one more wayward son
There ain’t no saving your wayward son
