Travis Greene's song "Prodigal" draws from the biblical parable of the prodigal son, telling a story of running away from God and then returning to find unconditional love and acceptance. The lyrics describe a journey of exhaustion and emptiness, only to realize that true belonging is found in the Father's embrace. The song emphasizes God's willingness to take back anyone who strays, filling the holes in their soul and making them whole again. It's a message of grace, redemption, and the invitation to stop running and come home to God's love.

I got holes in my shoes from all this running
I had more when I left
Now I'm left with nothing
But I know, I don't belong
In the place I've been calling my home
I got holes in my shoes from this running
Now I'm coming, all the way back
To the only one who can cover my past
Way back
To the best thing I've ever had
This love is the realest
More than a feeling
You will take me back
Fill the holes and make me whole again
There's room for a prodigal, prodigal son
To come back home
Won't turn Your back on me
There's room for a prodigal, prodigal son
To come back home
Won't turn Your back on me
The prodigal
Oh nana na na na
Stop running, stop running
Stop running, come back home
Had a hole in my soul from all that running
You came down, lift me up
I was up to nothing
Now I know where I belong
Thank God, I can come home
Had a hole in my soul from the running
I'm coming, all the way back
To the only one who can cover my past
Way back
To the best thing I've ever had
This love is the realest
More than a feeling
You will take me back
Fill the holes and make me whole again
There's room for the prodigal, prodigal son
To come back home
Won't turn Your back on me
There's room for a prodigal, prodigal son
To come back home
Won't turn Your back on me
A prodigal
Stop running
Stop running
Stop running
Come back home
