The Parable of the Lost Son
Mamma always said don’t forget
But I can’t recall exactly what she said
(It was) something about our family
Who we are and where we belong
But memory of her words is long gone
And now I’m out here all alone
Father always did what’s right
His words lined up with his work in life
But I can’t recall what he did
It was far away but it kept us fed
But memory of his deeds is long gone
And now I’m out here all alone
Brother always got there first
He made mistakes but mine were worse
He fixed himself along the way
But I waited too long ’til today
Memory of his lead is now gone
And I’m out here all alone
Sister always looked up to me
A sidekick of sorts you see
Her stubbornness got her real far
And I think the way she is is the way we all are
But I can’t call here on the phone
And now I’m out here all alone
REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE
AND REMEMBER WHOSE YOU ARE
(YOU) REPRESENT OUR NAME
YOU’RE BOUGHT AND PRICE PAID
