Father

When the light falls upon my failures and my sight gets a little foggy

I go blind enough to turn away from you

I often stumble in my foolishness and I gamble with my eternity

Like an addict I can't let go of my desires

But, if I call you father

Will you call me your son?

And if I run from your love

Won't you chase me down

Won't you chase me down

And bring me back to you

My heart's beating, it doesn't fit inside my chest

I am seeing that you have always known what's best

I am stubborn, hard-headed like a mule

Go and soften my rotten filthy mind

And I wonder why'd I ever waste my time

Trying to be a slave to this broken crooked world

Your words they move like poetry molding me until I made new

When I called you father

You called me your son

And when I ran from your love

Oh, you chased me down

Oh, you chased me down

And brought me back to you
