Prodigal

I will arise now

Like the sun of righteousness

Clothed in glittering gown

To overtake my happiness

I will usher in

Refreshing so steadfast

And make my sun stand still

Over the mountains of shadowcast

I will arise fast

And go back to Egypt land

And search for that basket

Within the reeds bracket

Maybe I'll find the secret map

To the milk and honey on Canaan

I will arise

And travel back in time

On the scales of Nile Crocodiles.
