Son you've got to come back Come back to life again Son you've got to come back Back to your family
Be that son of mine I never taught you to beg To throw your lot with the dead And To drown out all your pride I kept you close to me To keep you safe from pain You drew away from me To sink your teeth in shame Child you want to be a spirit set free Abandon the love of your family My flesh is your flesh And my bone is your bone
You put this distance between us And you abandoned your home You must remember Don't ever forget A fathers love will last you through death
You are everything that I could never be What made you pack your bags And just decide to leave
Sell your fathers bones just to fill your gut Sell your fathers bones just to feel your gut Sell your fathers bones ground them down to dust Sell your fathers bones to feed your wander lust
But this my son was dead But he is home and has come to life again Come to life again
