Away for So Long
This is a story we can all relate to-- and it was written to fit a message on the "Prodigal Son" for church last Sunday.
I hope to put it on my next CD.
Away For So Long - Jason Silver
I've been away for so long
Can hardly remember my little town
The sun dies, and I close my eyes
Pictures of home fade in my mind
Anymore- I wonder what I've got to lose
Better to serve in your home.
Sometimes when I'm all alone
Reflect on the arrogant side to my soul:
"Give me it all if you please,"
And then I came back, to fall on my knees
Anymore- Wonder what I've got to lose
Might as well make my way home... home... home....
Chorus:
Home is here
I've found the place I belong
No more fear
That you'll guess the things I've done wrong
You threw a party the day I returned; You were
Waiting with arms wide face all concerned
I'm back in the family, love reaffirmed
Now I am...
I am home.
I made the bed where I lie
Accepting the consequence; not asking why
I've lived life, and I've had a ball
Nothing to show; though I've seen it all
I am yours, and I have got nothing to lose
I'm better of living at home... home... home...
[chorus]
