Dexter A Duo - Wanderer Lyrics

In my father's house with wealth untold
Yet restless heart so young so bold
I sought the world with wild intent
With riches claimed away I went
Oh why am I off wandering far
Chasing dreams beneath the stars
But in the shadows I lost my way
Longing for home night and day
With friends so false and pleasures brief
I squandered all found only grief
In foreign land with hunger's cry
I fed the swine and wondered why
Oh why am I off wandering far
Chasing dreams beneath the stars
But in the shadows I lost my way
Longing for home night and day
In despair I saw the truth
A father's love from days of youth
I turned my steps with hope so slight
To seek forgiveness in morning light
As I approached my heart in dread
A father's arms where tears were shed
He called for feast and robe so fine
"My son was lost but now you're mine"
Oh I was the prodigal wandering far
Chasing dreams beneath the stars
But in the shadows I found my way
Home at last come what may
In my father's love I found my place
With open arms and endless grace
The prodigal's tale of fall and rise
In love's embrace we realize
