[00:01.12] 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]
