[Verse 1]
Like the prodigal daughter, I needed to run
Eclipsed in shadow, I wanted the sun

[Chorus]
My mother called me crying, said
"What you doing with your life? And
Come back home before your soul is gone"
But like the prodigal daughter, I needed to run
Like the prodigal daughter, I needed to run

[Verse 2]
I stare at the ceiling, I sleep on the floor
But I got a feeling I'm headed for more
And did I sell my soul?
17 years old
Money that I stole
But like the prodigal daughter, I needed to run

[Chorus]
My mother called me crying, said
"What you doing with your life? And
Come back home before your heart is gone"
But like the prodigal daughter, I needed to run
Like the prodigal daughter, I needed to run

[Bridge]
I'll say prayers to Mary
And I'll repent for wrong I've done
Don't stay up scared for me
'Cause I needed to run
'Cause I needed to run

[Chorus]
But mother called me crying, said
"Why you doing nothing with your life? And
Come back home before your soul is gone"
But like the prodigal daughter, I needed to run
Like the prodigal daughter, I needed to run
But like the prodigal daughter, I needed to run
Like the prodigal daughter, I needed to run
