Chorus / Description : The song Whatever Reason by Disciple is inspired by the biblical story of the prodigal son. It speaks about God's unconditional love and forgiveness, urging the listener to come back home regardless of the reasons for their running. The lyrics reference Luke 15:11-32.
[Luke 15:11-32]
In a whirlwind caught away
Broken lips have carried you to a place
Where you don't know just how you ever got this far away from here
Thinking somehow you could cross the point of no return
But my love will never end
Whatever reason you've been running
I just don't care anymore
Already forgotten whatever happened with what went wrong
I just want you to come home
Incarcerated, borrowed shame
Freedom was the promise they took away
And now you're left with what you find so hard is forgiving yourself
I see something far away
Could this be the day to take you in these arms and wash all of the wasted days and years away?
Just to see the eyes of my beloved child
Now I'm running I'm the one that's running
