I spent all the money, I spent all the money Got nothing to show, got nothing to show for it So tell me the story, tell me the story again The one where I find my way home in the end There's love and forgiveness, there's wine and there's water I am the prodigal daughter I am searching the heavens, I'm living in hell I've squandered the blessing, I am the never do well I walked on a wire, I tried every trick that I dared Broke every promise to whoever cared Burned all my bridges, like a lamb to the slaughter I am the prodigal daughter I have yet to see grace Or true mercy face to face Through a glass, not a trace So I am out of the race And I'll never go back, they'll not see my face again I'm not like my brothers, and god knows I'm not like them So you can tell me the story, it makes no difference to me So the blind man can walk and the lame man can see The party's still over, the wine's turned to water I am the prodigal daughter
