Lyrics | Prodigal Child By Naphtali Yakubu Ft Zion Naphtali

Chorus°✓

Have Mercy (3×)
On my soul.

VERSE 1°✓
When i was so young, i was excited about my dreams
Feeling optimistic, enthusiastic about my future.
I use to tell my Daddy i want to be a teacher
I’ll always tell my Mummy i want to be a president.
Sometimes I’ll tell my Daddy i want to be a Doctor
And sometimes i say to Mummy
(Mummy i want to be a pilot.)
As an innocent child faultless and guiltless in my heart, always excited when they say to me let’s go to church every Sunday morning.

{Oh no…..ehh}

But I didn’t know.. that the enemy was always by the door.
Looking for a chance, to snatch away and to steal my aspirations!
Looking for chance to steal away my dignity and my pride..
{Oh No no no….Oh no…ehh…ohh}

Chorus°✓
Have mercy (3×)
On my soul

Verse 2°✓
Now here i am in the university chasing a degree..eh!!
But oh nooo!! This good child is gone bad.
Oh no! My inocency is stolen away

Daddy didn’t know, that this young aspiring president
Is now a cultist, a drug addict, and a fornicator.
He’s now a thief, Ah! he’s now a cheat.

Mummy didn’t know, that this young aspiring doctor,
Is now a prostitute, is into homosexuality,
committed abotions, she’s got blood in her hands.

Oh no!…. [Oh No…]

Daddy and mummy still didn’t know
that i am burning and dying, in masturbation and pornography eating my flesh every morning and night
Daddy and Mummy still don’t know
That sometimes I think of suicide,
and i feel like running away.. eh!!!

This was not what i wanted to do
This is not who i signed up to be
Have mercy oh God on my soul. (Oh God)
Have mercy on my soul…

Chorus°✓
Have mercy on my soul
Have mercy on my soul

Verse 3
Who will chase away these spirits tormenting my soul..
Who will take away this darkness covering, covering my eyes..

Should i tell my daddy…?
Should i talk to mummy…? (2×)

Have mercy…Have mercy Oh God
Have mercy on me prodigal child..oh oh oh
