The Golden Boy & The Prodigal - Jason Gray[00:00:00]

There are two sides to every person[00:00:11]

Like the two sides of a dime[00:00:14]

Heads or tails it depends upon[00:00:17]

Who's watching at the time[00:00:20]

Though I hate to say it[00:00:23]

Mine is no exception[00:00:26]

One part is the prodigal[00:00:29]

The other part: deception[00:00:32]

Like the prince and the pauper[00:00:40]

Like Jacob and his brother[00:00:43]

Each hide a different heart[00:00:46]

Each a shadow of the other[00:00:48]

Me and my doppelganger[00:00:52]

Both share the same blood[00:00:54]

One I have hated[00:00:58]

The other have I loved[00:01:01]

One of them's the Golden Boy[00:01:09]

The man I'd like to be[00:01:12]

I show him off in the parades[00:01:15]

For all the world to see[00:01:18]

The other is much weaker[00:01:21]

He stumbles all the time[00:01:23]

The source of my embarrassment[00:01:26]

He's the one I try to hide[00:01:29]

The Golden boy is made of straw[00:01:46]

His finest suit will surely burn[00:01:49]

His vice is the virtue[00:01:52]

That he never had to earn[00:01:55]

The prodigal's been broken[00:01:58]

And emptied at the wishing well[00:02:00]

But he's stronger for the breaking[00:02:04]

With a story to tell[00:02:07]

I'm not easy with confessions[00:02:15]

It's hard to tell the truth[00:02:18]

But I have favored the golden boy[00:02:21]

While the other I've abused[00:02:24]

And he takes it like a man[00:02:27]

Though he's longing like a child[00:02:30]

To be loved and forgiven[00:02:33]

And share the burden for awhile[00:02:36]

So take a good look in the mirror[00:02:43]

Tell me who you see[00:02:47]

The one who Jesus died for[00:02:50]

Or the one you'd rather be[00:02:53]

Can you find it in your heart[00:02:56]

To show mercy to the one[00:02:59]

The Father loved so much[00:03:02]

That he gave his only son[00:03:04]
