The son comes to the father 

With shame in his eyes 

The father runs to the son 

And clothes him in white 


With a ring and a robe 

The son is welcomed home 

With a feast and a song 

All fear and shame is gone 


Oh what a father 

With pure love in his eyes 

Oh what a son 

Who gave his life for mine 


So I won't hold back 

I'm going to give you all I have
