Verse 1:
In a house where love once bloomed,
A younger son, his thoughts consumed.
With dreams of gold and skies so blue,
He asked his dad, 'Give what's due.'
Chorus:
Oh, father, hear my plea tonight,
Give me my share, shine down your light.
With open arms, I’ll brave the storm,
For riches call, and I’ll transform.
Verse 2:
The father sighed, but in his heart,
He knew the path, how dreams can part.
He handed over the shining coin,
Not knowing soon, his son’d disjoin.
Chorus:
Oh, father, hear my plea tonight,
Give me my share, shine down your light.
With open arms, I’ll brave the storm,
For riches call, and I’ll transform.
Bridge:
In cities bright, he chased the night,
But fortune fades, and trust takes flight.
His laughter turned to whispers low,
With empty hands, he felt the blow.
Verse 3:
The once fair son, so grand and proud,
Now walked the streets, beneath a shroud.
With every penny spent on dreams,
He found himself in harsh extremes.
Chorus:
Oh, father, hear my plea tonight,
Give me my share, shine down your light.
With open arms, I’ll brave the storm,
For riches call, and I’ll transform.
Verse 4:
In rags he sat, with hunger near,
Remembering home, the warmth, the cheer.
He yearned for love, for one more chance,
To mend the bonds, to find romance.
Chorus:
Oh, father, hear my plea tonight,
Give me my share, shine down your light.
With open arms, I’ll brave the storm,
For riches call, and I’ll transform.
Verse 5:
He turned his back, on streets of sin,
With humbled heart, he sought to win.
'Father, I’ve sinned,' he cried in pain,
But love prevailed, through all the rain.
Outro:
The father ran, arms open wide,
His son returned, no need to hide.
With brother's warmth, they healed the scar,
A grateful heart, beneath the star.
Final Chorus:
Oh, father, thank you for your grace,
In your embrace, I've found my place.
No riches can replace this love,
You welcomed me, like from above.
