There was a young man who had the best of everything   He was the first born of a wealthy man   But he was not satisfied with the best of everything   So he took his possessions in his hand      He traveled far and wide and he tasted worldly pleasure   But deep inside, he was lonely without measure   He wound up in a pig pen, nearly dead   Then he raised his eyes toward Heaven and he said      ?I will arise and go back to my father's house   I will beg him to forgive me for the fool I've been   I will arise and go back to my father's house   I will gladly be a servant if he'll take me back again?      I was a young man who had the best of everything   I was the first born of a hardworking man   But I was not satisfied with the best of everything   So I took my possessions in my hand      I traveled far and wide and I tasted worldly pleasure   But deep inside, I was lonely without measure   I wound up in Las Vegas, nearly dead   Then I raised my eyes toward Heaven and I said      ?I will arise and go back to my father's house   I will beg him to forgive me for the fool I've been   I will arise and go back to my father's house   I will gladly be a servant if he'll take me back again?      So I did arise and go back to my father's house   I said, ?Father, I'm sick and tired of being alone?   So I did arise and go back to my father's house   And then he wrapped his arms around me   And said, ?Son, you're welcome home?
