It'S Over Now

It's over now
It's over, I'm going home
It's over now
It can't be long
The prisons of my past couldn't hold me, I'm free at last
My father, I see His arms reaching for me
It's over now

When I look back to yesterday, and upon the many years I wasted
And I think about the many nights of hunger I spent out in the cold
I remember warming by the fire at father's house, the food, how it tasted
And knowing that the life I'm living is needing love and love's back there at home

It's over now (it's over now)
It's over, I'm going home
It's over now (it's over now)
It can't be long
The prisons of my past couldn't hold me, I'm free at last
My father, I see His arms reaching for me
It's over now

I can hear my father saying, "Go kill the fatted calf and spread the table
Then go and tell the singers to prepare to sing the welcome song
Then bring the finest ring of gold, and with it, bring the finest robe of silver, yes
To place upon the tired and weary shoulders of my child who's coming home"

It's over now (it's over now)
It's over, I'm going home
It's over now (it's over now)
It can't be long
The prisons of my past couldn't hold me, I'm free at last
My father, I see His arms reaching for me
It's over now

My father, I see His arms reaching for me
Oh, yes
It's over now
