Lyrics

Like a sinner, I've come back to you
Now I have to pay my dues
Should I hang my head and cry in shame?
Should I give my doubts a name?
I have tried denying... it's no use
There's no point in lyin', can't hide from you
Forgive me if I let you down
What goes round will come around

Take me in your arms and say you care
Now before I plunge into dispair

Tell me father you forgiving me?
Do I have to change my name?
I can't bear to be your shame
Father don't you turn your face from me
If I'm not the one you hoped I'd be
Now before I come undone
Take me back... like a prodigal son

Far away from you where can I go?
But nobody's perfect this you know
Tell me that you still believe in me
Like a child I'm praying on my knees
From the last time that we've said goodbye
Like an angel falling from the sky
I have never cease to think of you
Try to fill my life with something new

Take me in your arms and say you care
Now before I plunge into dispear

Tell me father you forgiving me?
Do I have to change my name?
I can't bear to be your shame
Father don't you turn your face from me
If I'm not the one you hoped I'd be
Now before I come undone
Take me back... like a prodigal son

Give me courage give me peace
I am here down on my knees
Only human... let the war inside me cease...

Tell me father...
Father don't you turn your face from me
If I'm not the one you hoped I'd be
Now before I come undone
Take me back... like a prodigal son
