Chorus / Description : The Prodigal by Amy Grant is a song about waiting and longing for someone who has gone astray, reminiscent of the biblical story of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32. It emphasizes unconditional love and forgiveness, and the hope of reconciliation.
I face the day again
Against the window pane
I remain your closest friend
And wish you back again
You wonder how I feel
You think you've pushed too foar
If only you could see this pen
Scribbling down my heart
[Chorus:]
I'll be waiting
I may be young or old and gray
Counting the days
But I'll be waiting
And when I finally see you come
I'll run when I see you
I'll meet you
But still the days drag on
Why did you decide to go
Did you only need to see
What only time can show
[Chorus]
And even if
You never do return
Still I will have learned
How to love you bettter
[Chorus]
