Prodigal Son

Be easy, baby, you’re a woman of faith.
We’re alone in this rock and roll church.
There’s no procession of angels, 
No communion of saints.
Just an honest confession 
From a prodigal son.

Be easy, baby, you’re a woman of grace.
Our Pentecost is all but guaranteed.
With the Spirit to guide us, 
Salvation’s assured.
It’s a pledge of affection 
From a prodigal son.

Be easy baby, you’re a woman of strength.
The harder things just leave you stronger still.
They say love takes its time 
To come down from the cross,
Like the slow resurrection 
Of a prodigal son.
