When I left my father's house
I was well-supplied
I made a mistake and I did wrong
And I'm dis-satisfied
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
And acknowledge I've done wrong
I'll go back to my father's house
I'll fall down on my face
Say that I'm unworthy
I'll seek a servant's place
I'll go back to my father's house
The place I love so dear
For there they have plenty to eat
And I'm a-starving here
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
And acknowledge I've done wrong
Father seen him coming
He met him with a smile
Threw his arms around him
Says "This is my wandering child"
Father said to his servants
"Go k** a fatted calf
Invite both friends and relatives
My son's come home at last"
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
And acknowledge I've done wrong
Banquet's in procession
All sorrow has pa**ed
Father's heart was filled with joy
His son come home at last
The elder son was jealous
I believe I heard him say
"Gave my brother his portion
I never went away"
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
And acknowledge I've done wrong
Father said to his elder son
"You've been both good and kind
Not a calf I'll give unto thee
But all I have is thine"
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home
And acknowledge I've done wrong
