Story Behind the Song
Based on the prodigal son in Luke 15, this song has a double meaning. The son's mistakes he made, then wanting to come back home, and the crossroads we come to in our daily lives where we must make a choice.
Lyrics
"Give me my portion",the son said to his dad
"I want to go where the good times are, where all things can be had.
Where life is so good, and no one seems to care,
Now hurry, dad, I've got to go, give me my share!
CHORUS
We've come upon the crossroads of our lives
Which way will er choose to go, will it be wrong or right?
This is the crossroad of our lives,
Which way will we choose to go, will it be wrong or right?
He went into that city, the sights were great to see
He wasted all of his money, now he was ready to leave;
He had no food for his body, days ran into weeks, you see,
He thought about the home he'd left,
While he was on his knees.
(go to chorus)
The journey back was a long one
He thought of all that he'd done
Then he saw his father
And he began to run!
The father stood with outstretched arms
As a smile came across his face
The son ran to his father's side,
They began to embrace!
(go to chorus)
