When the light falls upon my failures and my sight gets a little foggy I go blind enough to turn away from you I often stumble in my foolishness and I gamble with my eternity Like an addict I can't let go of my desires But, if I call you father Will you call me your son? And if I run from your love Won't you chase me down Won't you chase me down And bring me back to you My heart's beating, it doesn't fit inside my chest I am seeing that you have always known what's best I am stubborn, hard-headed like a mule Go and soften my rotten filthy mind And I wonder why'd I ever waste my time Trying to be a slave to this broken crooked world Your words they move like poetry molding me until I made new When I called you father You called me your son And when I ran from your love Oh, you chased me down Oh, you chased me down And brought me back to you
