The prodigal is a Christian song about being accepted by God as his lost child and being welcomed into God’s home and realising that Seth’s own pride is what prevented him from running back home and being insecure and doubtful about whether God would ever reclaim Seth as his own.
I was such a fool to think that I could ever do we think all alike with value. I thought I could do wrong, but as the years kept pressing on, I realised I wasn't quite so strong. Countless times I fell, I knew I need your help. But my pride kept me from running back home. I lost all that I have, eventually it got so bad that I wondered if you'd ever take me back. I was desparate, so I started home, and I was walking down your road when I saw you running after me. And it broke my heart. When I saw you running I saw the kind of father you are. So, so good
I rehearse just what I say, adding it on my mistakes, and I'd humbly ask to take a servant's place. Before I could communicate, you interrupted me to say: "My lost child. Come on, let's celebrate." And you gave me your clothes. You welcomed me home and still called me your own
And I'll never forget walking down your road. When I saw you running after me. And it broke my heart. When I saw you running I saw the kind of father you are
