I am a prodigal
I can make it on my own
I am a runaway
I would rather be alone
And it only takes a moment
Before the thrill is gone away
'Cause I am a wanderer
Yes, I am a wanderer

I am a criminal
Claiming treasures not my own
I am a hypocrite
Things I've said are seldom done
And it only takes a moment
Before the thrill is gone away
'Cause I am a wanderer
Yes, I am a wanderer

Though I wander far from You
You find me and bring me home
You find me and bring me home
Though I wander far from You
You find me and bring me home
You find me and bring me home

'Cause I am a child of God
I am loved and unashamed
Yes, I am a child of God
And forever I'll proclaim
That it only takes a moment
To wash it all away, yeah

'Cause I am a prodigal
And I am a runaway
Oh, I am a criminal
Oh, I am a hypocrite
But I am a child of God, hmm
Yes, I am a child of God
