"Prodigal Son" lyrics

Boy, desperation has returned here now
Sodom and Gomorrah, no dey yah so
Boy, desperation has returned over yonder
Sodom and Gomorrah, no dey yah so

(Boy) Wild one, you're like the prodigal son, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Boy) If you're the prodigal son, my friend, then (Boy)
You're the one, you left (Boy) taking your only possession, your culture
To enter (Boy) a world known for hacklings in abundance, yeah, yeah, yeah
The hustlers of life have hooked and drained you from the man
(Boy, boy)
From the man, from the man
From the man that you used (To be) turn your back on us, we return
Rastaman, where you came from? (Boy)
The land of your forefathers, yeah
(Boy) Reaching the gates with your two long hands now
(Boy) Stretching out for clean (Water) clean water, wild one

Prodigal son, if you're the prodigal son, then sound my friend, and
(Boy, boy)
You're the one, ay
Prodigal, come forth and rejoice with your voice
To Heaven, chants our song (Chants our song)
Prodigal, come forth and repent, Rastafari sins forgiven
No pressure on

Boy, desperation has returned here now
Sodom and Gomorrah, no dey yah so
Boy, desperation has returned, has returned over yonder
(Sodom and Gomorrah, no dey yah so)

One has returned without one's soul
(Boy, boy)
And has squandered all his possessions
Let us cleanse (Boy) your body now
From your service to the swine, because
(Boy) You've been dead and now to anoint your head
(Boy) With wisdom, knowledge (Understand) over standing
(Boy) A lesson has been taught unto you my friend, my friend
(Boy) My friend, feast and (Rejoicing) rejoicing

Wild one, you're like the prodigal son, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
If you're the prodigal son, my friend, then
(Boy) Then you're the one, ay
Prodigal, come forth and rejoice with your voice
To Heaven, we need to chant our song
Prodigal, come forth and repent, Rastafari sins forgiven

Boy, desperation has returned to here now
Sodom and Gomorrah, no dey yah so
Boy, desperation has returned, has returned over yonder
(Sodom and Gomorrah, no dey yah so)

Prodigal has returned to his culture
Prodigal has returned, give him water
Prodigal has returned, has returned
Has returned, has returned, has returned, ay
Prodigal has returned to his culture
Prodigal has returned, give him water
Prodigal has returned, and
Prodigal has returned now
