Prodigal Son Lyrics - Handsworth Revolution - Steel Pulse

Woy! Desperation has return 

Sodom and Gomorrah no deh yah so! 

Woy desperation has return over yonder 

Sodom and Gomorrah no deh yah so! 

Wild one, you are like the Prodigal Son yeah 

And if you're the Prodigal Son, my friend 

Then you're the one, you 

Left taking your only possession 

Your culture 

To enter a world known for hacklings 

In abundance, yeah 

The hustlers of life 

Have hooked and drained you from the man 

Form the man that you used to be, turn your back on us 

Return Rastaman where you came from 

The land of your forefathers 

Reaching the gates with your two long hands 

Searching out for clean water 

Wild one... 

Prodigal come forth and rejoice with your voice 

To the heavens 

Chant some song, chant some song 

Prodigal come forth and repent 

Rastafari sins forgiven 

Woy! Desperation has return... 

One has returned without one's soul 

And has squandered all his possessions 

Let us cleanse your body now 

From your service to the swine, because 

You've been dead and now to anoint your head 

With wisdom, knowledge and overstanding 

A lesson has been taught unto you my friend 

Time for a feast and rejoicing 

Wild one... 

Chorus 

Woy! Desperation has return 

Prodigal has returned to his culture 

Prodigal has returned give him water 

Prodigal has returned, has returned...
