The Golden Boy And The Prodigal Lyrics - Everything Sad Is Coming Untrue - Jason Gray

There are two sides to every person 

Like the two sides of a dime 

Heads or tails it depends upon 

Who's watching at the time 

Though I hate to say it 

Mine is no exception 

One part is the prodigal 

The other part: deception 

Like the prince and the pauper 

Like Jacob and his brother 

Each hide a different heart 

Each a shadow of the other 

Me and my doppelganger 

Both share the same blood 

One I have hated 

The other have I loved 

One of them's the Golden Boy 

The man I'd like to be I show him off in the parades 

For all the world to see 

The other is much weaker 

He stumbles all the time 

The source of my embarrassment 

He's the one I try to hide 

The Golden boy is made of straw 

His finest suit will surely burn 

His vice is the virtue 

That he never had to earn 

The prodigal's been broken 

And emptied at the wishing well 

But he's stronger for the breaking 

With a story to tell 

I'm not easy with confessions 

It's hard to tell the truth 

But I have favored the golden boy 

While the other I've abused 

And he takes it like a man 

Though he's longing like a child 

To be loved and forgiven 

And share the burden for awhile 

So take a good look in the mirror 

Tell me who you see 

The one who Jesus died for 

Or the one you'd rather be 

Can you find it in your heart 

To show mercy to the one 

The Father loved so much 

That he gave his only son...
