[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...
