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 knockin' down walls, takin' my time I gotta get outta here Where will I go, who will I become? I'm coming on like an elephant gun Reaching for the piece of life that I can't find The sun keeps fading away Searching for the feeling that will never come The return of the prodigal son Last night the moon seemed to look so empty I fell into a pit of despair (goin' nowhere) I never thought that these wounds would heal I fell to my knees, the rain came down I swear 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 life that I can't find The sun keeps fading away Searching for the feeling that will never come The return of the prodigal son Reaching for the piece of life that I can't find The sun keeps fading away Searching for the feeling that will never come The return of the prodigal son The Prodigal Son His time has just begun Yeah yeah I finally found a feeling The return of the Prodigal Son Let's go and give em their money's worth
