Grant, Amy - The Prodigal Lyrics






I face the day again
Against the window pane
I remain your closest friend
And wish you back again
You wonder how I feel
You think you've pushed too foar
If only you could see this pen
Scribbling down my heart

[Chorus:]
I'll be waiting
I may be young or old and gray
Counting the days
But I'll be waiting
And when I finally see you come
I'll run when I see you
I'll meet you

But still the days drag on
Why did you decide to go
Did you only need to see
What only time can show

[Chorus]

And even if
You never do return
Still I will have learned
How to love you bettter

[Chorus]

    I think this is the first time I've heard this song. It's very touching. I've rediscovered Amy Grant and get so blessed and touched by her songs. Thanks for posting!

    After over 30 years with living Christian faith, still one of the most unbelievable things to me is how God could find a way to reach me through a girl. NEVER would have expected that. Hearing Amy Grant for the first time changed my life. She was a peer but unlike any other...able to represent what I KNEW was the authentic faith and able to present at the same time the meaningfulness in religion. I found life in the Christian message prior to hearing this music, but Amy Grant opened my eyes and heart to the power of the message, and I will be forever grateful to God and to her. Thinking of ALL the people who have changed my life while I listen! Thankyou!

    This song is a poem in the form of a song, played by this great singer of Christian music. Every time I hear crying because it touches my heart ...

  12. J.... A....

    Still makes me tear up.

  13. K.... M....

    The last line of this song touched me so many years ago and still does.....and even if.........

  14. G.... M....

    Uno de lo tema de Amy que me llena el corazon de luz

  15. H.... ....

    Thank you, Amy.

  16. Z.... ....

    The music is very 80s... but the message is timeless. If you fear you've pushed too far: the fact that you fear that means that you haven't pushed too far, and the Father is still waiting, waiting to run and meet you and scoop you up and enfold you in his arms.

    Right now i'm 21 years old, Janiuary 6th gonna become 22 years old. And i'm glad that i found Amy Grant. Her songs are majestic, wonderfull and outstading, reaching the deepest places of mine heart!. Love her music! I m depressive personality, suffereing from loneliness, and no one from mine relatives knows this fact, but this kind of music helps me to become a normal person, to be near the god and to prevent from doing something terrible. Her voice is like an angel and her songs gives me hope, than not whole is a bad world, and the best things comes for those persons who waits patently. Life is so good! People, enjoy it, because we dont know what going to be tommorow! Love you, Amy Grant and your the most amazing songs! And THANK YOU.

    Sorry for bad english

    You know what? You are already an eternal being with God, and if God has chosen you, how can you be truely lonely? You can't. As a young person, run to what is uncomfortable such as Christian youth fellowship and bible study. Trust anyone who earns your respect. Then, who knows, maybe you will find a deeper sense of purpose and a deeper connection to others and to God too. Worked for me, although I confess God had to send others after me for me to choose fellowship and growth. This really saved me from horrible gloom. This very music is one of the things God brought me over 30 years ago Praise the Lord! Listening I could escape to God's world and seek Him so much better. Yes, thankyou Amy Grant!

  19. J.... K....

    This has always been my favorite amy song. I find it so visual, I always see someone writing a letter at a big oak desk, staring out the window and crying

  20. 5.... ....

    It isn't necessarily a romantic love somone is waiting on. I used to sing this song thinking of my brother who once he graduated from high school was out of my life, and also was very lost. "And even if, you never do return..." I think I saw my brother once from the time I was 17 until his passing at age 35 in a car accident. He was in a coma for 4 months before he died. I was able to touch his body in the hospital, but not really able to connect with him. I can't sing this without tears.

    5.... ....

    5ny7 I’m so sorry. I lost my brother too, after a car accident and he also was 35. They’re celebrating us in Heaven now... and waiting.

    5.... ....

    Your brother made it.

  21. J.... Y....

    A dear friend played this song for me when I was 17. I was going off to college and we both knew we would never be as close as we were in that moment. We are both old and grey now. I never really did return. I was sure I would. I guess I knew back then I just didn't want to accept it. That moment in time will forever be in my mind. I love you Al.

  22. J.... P....

    i fell in love with this song! i see it from the Prodigal son story, but also about two loves separated, hoping one day the other wll come back. just so beautiful.. a tear is starting to form in my eye...

  23. H.... F....

    This song has kept me for more than 20 years Thanks Amy....

  24. J.... P....

    i love this song!!! this was from unguarded (last song) in 1985. beyond the prodigal son story, it's about someone waiting for their love to return. to me this is so romantic.

  25. d.... ....

    @kristadanielle1225 Aww, I'll pray for you. Jesus loves you. -Joshua

  26. R.... M....

    I think this is one of her best songs. The lyrics, the music is just so moving.

  27. L.... M....

    One of the all time great songs from Amy.

  28. N.... G....

    I haven't heard this song in years. Thank you so much for sharing it.

  29. B.... S....

    @sunlitrain : I agree completely. I actually lived out this song in 1991, when my best friend joined the AF and I really thought I never would see him again. But My God had bigger plans, and April will be 19 years that we have been married!!

  30. h.... ....

    @ShellyDZ99 To me, it indicates love, I don't think it's wrong at all. We often do things out of love we would never do normally.

  31. h.... ....

    @JesusIslooking4YOU You are very welcomed!

  32. h.... ....

    @aroa926 You're welcome! I am glad it has touched so many people!

  33. g.... ....

    This song is Beautiful♥

  34. a.... ....

    Thanks for uploading this! :-) I love this song!!! Also, does anyone have the other version of this song - the one that has an orchestra in the background? Hope someone can post that too... :-)

  35. s.... ....

    @ShellyDZ99

    This song is actually based out of the Bible story of the Prodigal Son. The true message is that God has a father's heart that never ever dies. And no matter who you are, what you've done, or how much you ignore Him, His love for you will never change. There is nothing we can do to ever be loved less. He ever waits. Like a parent with a child that left home and never came back....

    Unconditional Love is Real.

    s.... ....

    sunlitrain good song

  36. S.... ....

    The last verse still gets me choked up...but I can't help thinking wow, this person should really move on with life. Is that wrong? ;-)

    S.... ....

    it isn't about a romantic relationship. It is from the bible....but, for example, my friend J and I both suffer from depression, and I think of her =, hoping she will call me when she hits bottom, vice versa. I also thought of my best friend from high school when I heard this.

  37. b.... ....

    this is a great song from a great artist. i have looked for this song in the past and now i can say thanks. hope it stays. God Bless.

  38. M.... m....
