Father

When the light falls upon my failures and my sight gets a little foggy
I go blind enough to turn away from you
I often stumble in my foolishness and I gamble with my eternity
Like an addict I can't let go of my desires

But, if I call you father
Will you call me your son?
And if I run from your love
Won't you chase me down
Won't you chase me down
And bring me back to you

My heart's beating, it doesn't fit inside my chest
I am seeing that you have always known what's best
I am stubborn, hard-headed like a mule
Go and soften my rotten filthy mind
And I wonder why'd I ever waste my time
Trying to be a slave to this broken crooked world

Your words they move like poetry molding me until I made new

When I called you father
You called me your son
And when I ran from your love
Oh, you chased me down
Oh, you chased me down
And brought me back to you
