When I left my Father's house, I was well supplied
I made a mistake when I did go, now I'm dissatisfied
I believe I'll go back home, I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home, acknowledge I've done wrong

I'll go back to my Father's house, the place I love so 
dear
There they have plenty to eat, Lord, I am starving here
I'll go back to my Father's house, and fall down on my 
face
Declare I am not worthy to receive a servants place
I believe I'll go back home, I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home, acknowledge I've done wrong

Threw his arms around him, saying,"Here's my wandering 
child!"
Father said to my brother "Go kill the fatted calf,
Tell our friends and relatives, my son's home at last!"
I believe I'll go back home, I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home, acknowledge I've done wrong

My brother he was jealous, I believe I heard him say
"You give to him my portion, I never went away!"
Father said to my brother "You have been both good and 
kind,
Not calf I've given thee - all I have is thine."
I believe I'll go back home, I believe I'll go back home
I believe I'll go back home, acknowledge I've done wrong
