Shawn Sackman Poet Lyric

The Prodigal Son

I USED TO WORRY ABOUT THINGS THAT DON'T MATTER
THINGS THAT USED UP MUCH OF MY DAYS
I SPENT ALL MY TIME TRYING TO MAKE MORE DIMES
UNTIL IT ALL CRASHED DOWN IN MY FACE

SO REMEMBER TO ENJOY THE GIFT OF LIFE 
AND THE FIRST STEP IS LIVING EACH DAY
DON'T WORRY ABOUT THINGS THAT’LL MAKE YOU LOSE SITE
AND TAKE YOU OFF IN ALL THE WRONG WAYS

SOMEONE YOU’LL WANT TO TAKE ALONG ON YOUR RIDE
HAS ALREADY BEEN WITH YOU ALL OF YOUR LIFE
EVEN WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS JUST YOU ALONE
KNOW IT’S OK FOR YOU WERE WRONG
HE CREATED ALL THINGS AND THOUGH WE’RE JUST ONE
HIS LOVE FOR US ENDURES 
EVEN WHEN WE’RE THE PRODIGAL SON 

BUT FOR YOU TO GET THE MOST OUT OF LIFE
REMEMBER TO THANK HIM EACH DAY
YOU WILL SEE THAT HE’S ALWAYS AT YOUR SIDE
AND IF YOU LISTEN HE’LL HELP LEAD THE WAY

SOMEONE YOU’LL WANT TO TAKE ALONG ON YOUR RIDE
HAS ALREADY BEEN WITH YOU ALL OF YOUR LIFE
EVEN WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS JUST YOU ALONE
KNOW IT’S OK FOR YOU WERE WRONG
HE CREATED ALL THINGS AND THOUGH WE’RE JUST ONE
HIS LOVE FOR US ENDURES 
EVEN WHEN WE’RE THE PRODIGAL SON 
	
TAKE A MOMENT AND LISTEN TO YOUR BEATING HEART (AND)
WHAT YOU FEEL WILL BE HIS GIFT TO WHO YOU REALLY ARE

SOMEONE YOU’LL WANT TO TAKE ALONG ON YOUR RIDE
HAS ALREADY BEEN WITH YOU ALL OF YOUR LIFE
EVEN WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS JUST YOU ALONE
KNOW IT’S OK FOR YOU WERE WRONG
HE CREATED ALL THINGS AND THOUGH WE’RE JUST ONE
HIS LOVE FOR US ENDURES 
EVEN WHEN WE’RE THE PRODIGAL SON 

HIS LOVE FOR US ENDURES 
EVEN WHEN WE’RE THE PRODIGAL SON

THE PRODIGAL SON
