Thoughts of Renewal

I want my share of the estate I'm leaving home, expatriate

Father understand, just how I feel

I have to go, a life to gain

So I set off to a distant country, and i squanded all my wealth

I delighted myself in wild living and spent my every cent

The country broken into famine

I was falling short in need

I couldn't live in this condition

I was feeling no more greed

And I was becoming more lonely

And all my life began to fade

This life isn't what I had dreamed

And I have put myself through shame

I've worked my fingers right to their bones

I'm feeling ill, I miss my home

Why did I leave, why did I go

Now I have nothing, I have no home

I brought myself to an understanding, what i was going to do

I'd head back to where I once called home

And ask if i could work for food

Father I have sinned against you

And against our family's name

I'm not worthy to be your son no-more

Wont you take me as your slave

My son I'm so glad to see you

As a tear rab down his face

You were dead, but now your alive

You will find home here at this place
