V1
There was a time
I used to look into my Fathers's eyes
Once a happy home
Had wealth and fields where grapes are grown

I wanted my share
Well, my Father's as good as dead
I didn't care
I took the money, and then I fled...

PC
In the 'Hollywood' of my day
Wasted all of the money away
Such a fool, I went so astray...
(Yeah)

C
I wish my Father said...
"Welcome home, welcome home child
My table has a place for you
Welcome home, welcome home now"
(Yeah...)

V2
Money all wasted
I went to work in a homestead
Hunger and thirst
I miss drinking wine and eating bread

My Father, I long
Took the journey back to my home
I was so wrong
Father's happy, now I'm not alone

PC
In the 'Hollywood' of my day
Wasted all of the money away
Such a fool, I went so astray...
(Yeah)

C
Now my Father says...
"Welcome home, welcome home child
My table has a place for you
Welcome home, welcome home now"

"Welcome home, welcome home child
The Lord has now forgiven you
Welcome home, welcome home now"
(Yeah...)
