Lyrics
VERSE
You used to hold me lest I'd fall,
And you would hear me when I'd call
But I wandered off,
Now I'm here alone
Trying to find my way back home
VERSE
You used to answer when I prayed
And you were my shelter night and day
Now I'm facing the storm
But I'm out here on my own
Trying to find my way back home
CHORUS
I promise if I ever ever,
get a brand new start
I will never never
Allow my heart to roam
If I could find my way back home
BRIDGE
Like the prodigal son
All the goods I had
I squandered along
Now it seems that everything is gone
All the things that used
to shine like gold
have all turned to mold
And I realize with teary eyes
I traded so much more
CHORUS
I promise if I ever ever,
get a brand new start
I will never never
Allow my heart to roam
If I could find my way back home
