Lyrics:

When the prodigal son returns home Snow falls from the sky Crawling out of the former ruins The former flags are swaying precariously Time returns to the starting point Those youthful years that once burned Those youthful years that once burned I come from an ancient place I have walked through wind,rain,and scorching heat I hungrily gaze at a piece of land Where my father is tilling When pursuing freedom No one knows what tomorrow will be like No one knows what tomorrow will be like I use my life to seek freedom I will not yield,nor will I abandon I bury my sorrow in my chest Because I know,I am a warrior

When the prodigal son returns home No one welcomes me No one knows where I have been No one knows where I have walked I come from an ancient place I have walked through wind,rain,and scorching heat I hungrily gaze at a piece of land Where my father is tilling When pursuing freedom No one knows what tomorrow will be like No one knows what tomorrow will be like I use my life to seek freedom I will not yield,nor will I abandon I bury my sorrow in my chest Because I know,I am a warrior I come from an ancient place I have walked through wind,rain,and scorching heat I hungrily gaze at a piece of land Where my father is tilling When pursuing freedom No one knows what tomorrow will be like No one knows what tomorrow will be like I use my life to seek freedom I will not yield,nor will I abandon I bury my sorrow in my chest Because I know,I am a warrior
