The Last Younger Son
[Verse 1]
My last name is Younger, I am the last Younger son
The name I was given is Luke 15:21
Three days of thunder and three days of rain
I come to be in this world with a number and a name
[Verse 2]
My last name is Younger, I am the last Younger son
I stand as a witness to the things I have done
And I have caused sorrow, yet I too have been pained
You cannot be in this world and not get stained
[Verse 3]
My last name is Younger, I am the last Younger son
I once had beliefs, now I have none
There is no forgiveness for old guns and knives
Perhaps it is fitting we don't recall our past lives
[Verse 4]
My last name is Younger, I am the last Younger son
There is a secret I've never told anyone
Sometimes I see something in a few certain eyes
And I behold the future of how and when a man dies
[Verse 5]
My last name is Younger, I am the last Younger son
I won't get no older than the age of twenty-one
As I look in the mirror I see the future once more
An old friend is waiting just beyond the closed door
[Verse 1]
My last name is Younger, I am the last Younger son
The name I was given is Luke 15:21
Three days of thunder and three days of rain
I come to be in this world with a number and a name
