Oh, I've done you wrong father
It's clear I have been
Such an ungrateful son
It is clear I have sinned

But now I'm back and again I'm your son
Now I am back and you don't need to frown

And I know you've cried mother
I know that you've wept
All the tears in your body
Were too heavy to be kept

But now I'm back and you will smile again
Now I am back and I will ease your pain

So you see, little sister
Your prayers were for good
I did never forget
The bounds of brotherhood

And now I'm back and again we will play
Sing and dance and laugh and throw pain away

And I know all you neighbours
Did talk on my back
And you slandered my family
Until their souls cracked

But now I'm back and I am here to stay
Now I am back and I will make you pay
