lyrics

He sits down with the sinners roving the wild’s trusted trails
Tired of all the heroes he heard praised in the old folktales
Past spirits they call him back but he won’t answer the call
On the other face of this fertile place’s wealthy mansion’s wall

Now he’s looking for refuge
He’s the prodigal son
Yes, he’s looking for refuge
And he’s not the only one

Losing himself in cherry wine and sweet women of the night
Life’s darkness it crept over him, then faded all the light
Hungry scratching around in the dirt among the pigs on the ground
It turns the dead into the living and the lost into the found

But now he’s looking for refuge
He’s the prodigal son
Yes, he’s looking for refuge
And he’s not the only one

He left for what he thought was a quest for greed and gold
After squandering his soul his story now must be told
They stay he’s still out there somewhere and he’s hunting his way home
You can hear his voice the way the wind and breeze are blown

But now he’s looking for refuge
He’s the prodigal son
Yes, he’s looking for refuge
And he’s not the only one
He’s not the only one, he’s not the only one…
