lyrics

PRODIGAL DAUGHTER

The prodigal daughter returns in a cloud of dust of her iniquities…And as all good sinners must, finds herself humbled at her father’s feet. She says i’d ask you to welcome me back but it’s apparent to me now that I never left. He said am I to assume then, in your travels you’ve started to understand where we’re at? And she says yes – yes I see….like a light illuminating every part of me and thee, I was blind for a time & it’s taken me a while but father, I am starting to see. He says: my love for you never changes child. You can’t ‘please’ or ‘displease’ me. You can only do yourself The disservice of taking steps that lead you away or back to me. Do you see what I mean? And she says: Oh yes I see. Like a light illuminating every thread of secrecy. I was blind for a time and it’s taken me a while but father, I am starting to see. He says good because I’d rather have you in my circle of love but like any good parent I can’t just push and shove and though I’d hate for you to think you’re alone every child makes their own way home - just follow my voice. Or don’t. You see, it’s all about choice. But remember what I said when you’re running around inside your head: MY LOVE NEVER CHANGES…IT’S UNCONDITIONAL BY ITS VERY NATURE. Just remember what I said…It’s up to you if you want it. It’s up to you if you feel it. It’s up to you to receive it - It’s always been up to you.

Rachael Brady Sydney, Australia

Rachael Brady has one of those voices you only find in singers grounded by their guts into a life deeply & often messily lived.
It isn't sweet, high or perfect.
It’s a voice that sings its scars & imperfections.
It’ll probably sing some of yours too.
Brady is currently (2024) recording her 4th studio album "Bears, Witches & Wolves" with Blue Mountains based producer Josh Schuberth. ... more
