Black sheep

Thought I was free, far from who knew me best,

Lost in the night, chasing what I’d never get.

Wandered paths with no echo to guide,

At journey’s end, just the wind by my side.

Pre-Chorus

Sky still calls me, past won’t let go,

Maybe a spot at your table, you know.

Soul that left but came back to you.

Chorus

That black sheep who drifted away,

Lost in the desert, never stayed.

If flock’s got room, I’ll return,

Black sheep seeking where I belong.

Paradise holds black sheep like me,

Broke the trail but came back to thee.

Verse 2

Pride’s scorched tracks in the earth I left,

Each “no” pushed me further from your breath.

Back now, no excuses, scars on my face,

Heart waits for your voice, your grace.

Pre-Chorus

Failed so many times, it’s true,

Still your child, believing now in you.

Your love teaches me to return.

Chorus

That black sheep who drifted away,

Lost in the desert, never stayed.

If flock’s got room, I’ll return,

Black sheep seeking where I belong.

Paradise holds black sheep like me,

Broke the trail but came back to thee.

Bridge

Not perfect, but here I stand,

World points blame, but I’ll take your hand.

Door’s open? I’ll walk right in,

With my load, my tale, my skin.

Final Chorus

That black sheep who drifted away,

Lost in the desert, never stayed.

If flock’s got room, I’ll return,

Black sheep seeking where I belong.

Paradise holds black sheep like me,

Broke the trail but came back to thee.
