Prodigal Son from Former Friends by Relatives

though just the good son
not for naught the prodigal course
eat well and travel abroad
your wrongs will push you home to
the out-and-out of a father's love

this world is wilderness
it is easy to get lost
he seeks the blackguard sheep
for to sling over his shoulders

decisions we make
are not always
the healthiest ones
but maybe that,
that's what it takes

though just the good son
not for naught the prodigal course
eat well and travel abroad
your wrongs will push you home to
the out-and-out of a father's love

elder with silver coins
should she lose but one she still will
displace the furniture
until she's found her piece (or peace)

though just the good son
not for naught the prodigal course
eat well and travel abroad
your wrongs will push you home to
the out-and-out of a father's love
