lyrics

Lyrics:
you lift your skinny fists up in the sky
packed a change of clothes and left in the middle of July 2005
and when the glass it hit the wall
mother cried and the cops were called
the day you said goodbye
your father left his work by one or two
to a crying telephone his wife was on the other side of
You really did it this time
the Lord looks down and begins to cry
the day you said goodbye
and I know
you've been abandoned
but don't abandon
ship on me
just know
like a winter white snow
you've been forgiven
come back to me
I know right now that don't mean anything
your skinny legs bounced up into the sky
I tried to tell you to
"be careful not to jump that high"
and with your fingers crossed you fall
against the ground
I saw it all
the day you tried to fly
when the red and blue lights made the scene
your eyes were glazed and honestly
can you remember anything?
and when the others ran away
I prayed to God they wouldn't stay
but sometimes He doesn't listen

from a father
to his daughter
my prodigal child
come back to me
from a sinner
to his Maker
your prodigal son is on his knees
sweet God
please hold on to me
sweet God
hold her
(please oh please)
the day she tries to fly
hold me
the day I try to fly
