Verse 1

F#              C#
He was born far away from home
     D#m                  B
In a troubled place, in a distant 
land.
       C#                       
He was guided by a reason as he 
Bbm
searched for the truth
G#m                    Bbm   
Questioning life as he tried to 
       B
understand
     C#          E   F#
Just who he was.

Verse 2

             C#
Discipled by philosophy.
  D#m                  B
A dead end street with no way 
through
C#                        Bbm
Trusting education as the key to his
 soul
        G#m                 Bbm   
But the room that it opened held 
  B
no clue
   C#           E
To who he was.

For a path to lead him home.

A new age revelation, to give him 
hope.
        D#m              B
And the Wayward Son kept learning.
        C#           F#
But the wisdom never came.

At forty he was born again.

In a peaceful place, in a familiar 
land.

Sheltered by a grace God revealed 
His truth.

And day by day he grew to comprehend
         C#       E   F#
Just who he was.

Refashioned by the hand of love

In the image of, God's only son.

He was freed from the fall with the

 curse in

the dust

In Christ he found the essence

Of just who he was.

For a path to lead him home.

He received a revelation, that gave 
him hope.
        D#m                
And the Wayward Son stopped

yearning.

For the wisdom of the wind.
    E
And he began to find out
B           F#  D#m   E   F#
Who he was.           Ohh who he 
was.
