[Intro] (Oh-oh-oh) [Verse 1] Look at the jury, sitting cold as ice Listing my sins, checking the price You paint the picture of a life gone wrong Like I chose the darkness, like I belong But tell me, gentlemen, who lit the flame? Who wrote the book on this crying shame? One of your own brothers, one of your own kind He left the ruin, and I stayed behind [Pre-Chorus] He walks in the sunlight, he walks in the clear While I’m drowning in the judgment here You say I’m heavy laden, you say I’m lost But you never stop to count the cost [Chorus] The prodigal son comes home to a feast But the prodigal daughter is food for the beast He gets the robe, he gets the ring She gets the silence that the shadows bring (No return, no return) You built the pedestal to watch me fall So judge me gently, or don't judge at all [Verse 2] If I knelt on your doorstep, bleeding and broken Would the church doors open? Not a word spoken. You’d pull back your robes so I couldn't touch Yeah, the "purity" you value so much I know a sinner who healed the sick While the saints ran away, moved out quick She died for mercy, she died for you But you’d stone her now, yeah, I know it's true! [Chorus] The prodigal son comes home to a feast But the prodigal daughter is food for the beast He gets the robe, he gets the ring She gets the silence that the shadows bring (No return, no return) Yeah, you built the pedestal to watch me fall So judge me gently, or don't judge at all! [Bridge] "He without sin," that's what He said But the modern hypocrite wants me dead Pick up your rock, aim for the head Pick up your rock... Are you holy?! Are you holy?! [Guitar Solo] [Final Chorus] The prodigal son comes home to a king! But the prodigal daughter doesn't get a thing! No ring, no robe, just the closing door We don't live in that garden anymore!
