Jason Gray - The Golden Boy & The Prodigal |
[00:02.77] |
|
[00:11.05] |
There are two sides to every person |
[00:14.60] |
Like the two sides of a dime |
[00:17.75] |
Heads or tails it depends upon |
[00:20.26] |
Who's watching at the time |
[00:22.91] |
|
[00:23.41] |
Though I hate to say it |
[00:26.47] |
Mine is no exception |
[00:29.36] |
One part is the prodigal |
[00:32.12] |
The other part: deception |
[00:38.21] |
|
[00:40.13] |
Like the prince and the pauper |
[00:43.26] |
Like Jacob and his brother |
[00:46.12] |
Each hide a different heart |
[00:49.22] |
Each a shadow of the other |
[00:51.81] |
Me and my doppelganger |
[00:54.83] |
Both share the same blood |
[00:57.72] |
One I have hated |
[01:00.91] |
The other have I loved |
[01:05.07] |
|
[01:09.81] |
One of them's the Golden Boy |
[01:12.48] |
The man I'd like to be |
[01:15.41] |
I show him off in the parades |
[01:18.29] |
For all the world to see |
[01:21.26] |
The other is much weaker |
[01:24.04] |
He stumbles all the time |
[01:26.98] |
The source of my embarrassment |
[01:29.77] |
He's the one I try to hide |
[01:32.79] |
|
[01:46.66] |
The Golden boy is made of straw |
[01:49.79] |
His finest suit will surely burn |
[01:52.99] |
His vice is the virtue |
[01:55.82] |
That he never had to earn |
[01:58.81] |
The prodigal's been broken |
[02:01.12] |
And emptied at the wishing well |
[02:04.20] |
But he's stronger for the breaking |
[02:07.23] |
With a story to tell |
[02:11.05] |
|
[02:15.58] |
I'm not easy with confessions |
[02:19.01] |
It's hard to tell the truth |
[02:21.66] |
But I have favored the golden boy |
[02:24.65] |
While the other I've abused |
[02:27.58] |
And he takes it like a man |
[02:30.28] |
Though he's longing like a child |
[02:33.29] |
To be loved and forgiven |
[02:36.23] |
And share the burden for awhile |
[02:41.33] |
|
[02:44.06] |
So take a good look in the mirror |
[02:47.93] |
Tell me who you see |
[02:51.07] |
The one who Jesus died for |
[02:53.61] |
Or the one you'd rather be |
[02:56.39] |
Can you find it in your heart |
[02:59.10] |
To show mercy to the one |
[03:02.10] |
The Father loved so much |
[03:04.99] |
That he gave his only son... |
[03:12.22] |
