You used to run all around the room
Your little world was about to bloom
You were full of curiosity
I know you get that from me
One day the front door was open wide
I had a sick feeling inside
You were wandering into the street
I didn't have time to think
I went running after you
Cause that's what I'm here to do
If you're falling down, lost your ground
I'll be here to pull you through
I'll go running, running after you
You used to want to be big like me
I said there ain't no big hurry
When you set out to find your way
That road led you astray
And then the world filled you with shame
You were afraid to call that day
No matter what you've done
You're still my son
And you'll always hear me say
I go running after you
Because that's what I'm here to do
If you're falling down, lost your ground
I'll be here to pull you through
I'll go running,
running after you
There's a lesson to be
learned here my son,
purpose in every tear
See even I tried to run away,
but my father's love is too great
He sees beauty in my mistakes,
even cause to celebrate
I am my father's son,
the prodigal one
and he's reckless with his grace
I'll go running after you
Cause that's what I need to do
If you're falling down
Lost your ground
I'll be here to pull you through
I'll go running
Running after you
I'll go running
