ApologetiX - Hurry Home Wayward Son lyrics

Parody of Carry On Wayward Son performed by Kansas and written by Kerry Livgren (Luke 15:11-32) CHORUS Hurry home my wayward son There'll be a feast when you are done Stay here with me and be blest Don't you hide no more Once I raised a couple boys -- yes, my two sons Didn't ever think that I'd ever lose one I was sure he'd never try it But he grew too wild So he asked if he could have his inheritance Though it saddened me I still was his parent I hear my boy's been spending freely I just fear he'll pay CHORUS As I'm waiting there's a famine where he's been My son may be in the gutter and bleedin' But didn't I train him to be a wise man, well He should be safe, but I don't know From the stories people tell me he's broke and Tossin' out his life to pigs in an old pen I sit on the porch and wait here for him Will I see my boy this day? CHORUS Hurry home -- you will always be my boy Hurry home -- there's no need to be shy boy Though you left you're always family Surely there's a place for you CHORUS Luke 15:20 "So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compa**ion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him."
