Sevendust Chapter VII: Hope and Sorrow Album

7.Prodigal Son

Passing through this life
with so much regret
It feels like I haven't
got over it yet
It takes so long for
these wounds to heal
I'm knocking down walls,
taking my time
I gotta get out of here

Where will I go?
Who will I become?
I'm coming on like an elephant gun

Reaching for the piece of mind
that I can't find
The sun keeps fading away
Searching for a feeling
that will never come
The return of the prodigal son

Last night the moon seemed
to look so empty (yeah)
I fell into a pit of despair
(going nowhere)
I never thought that
these wounds would heal
I fell to my knees,
the rain came down
I thought I could touch the sky

What have I done,
why was I so wrong?
Hear the pop of my elephant gun!

Reaching for the piece of mind
that I can't find
The sun keeps fading away
Searching for a feeling
that will never come
The return of the prodigal son

Reaching for the piece of mind
that I can't find
The sun keeps fading away
Searching for a feeling
that will never come
The return of the prodigal son
- the Prodigal Son!

This time has just begun
I finally found a feeling
The return of a Prodigal Son
