verse 1 

F#              C#      
He was born far away from home 
     D#m                  B 
In a troubled place, in a distant land. 
       C#                       Bbm 
He was guided by a reason as he searched for the truth 
G#m                    Bbm          B 
Questioning life as he tried to understand 
     C#          E   F# 
Just who he was. 

verse 2 

             C# 
Discipled by philosophy. 
  D#m                  B 
A dead end street with no way through 
C#                        Bbm 
Trusting education as the key to his soul 
        G#m                 Bbm     B 
But the room that it opened held no clue 
   C#           E   
To who he was. 


        D#m               B 
And the Wayward Son kept looking. 
      C#               F# 
For a path to lead him home. 
  D#m         B          C# 
A new age revelation, to give him hope. 
        D#m              B 
And the Wayward Son kept learning. 
        C#           F# 
But the wisdom never came. 
       E 
And he searched for years to find out 
D#m    F#    D#m  E  F#  C#  F# 
Who he was. 

verse 3 

                C# 
At forty he was born again. 
     D#m                  B 
In a peaceful place, in a familiar land. 
C#                       Bbm 
Sheltered by a grace God revealed His truth. 
    G#m           Bbm           B 
And day by day he grew to comprehend 
         C#       E   F# 
Just who he was. 
                   C# 
Refashioned by the hand of love 
       D#m             B 
In the image of, God's only son. 
       C#                           Bbm 
He was freed from the fall with the curse in  

the dust 
   G#m                 Bbm 
In Christ he found the essence 
B           C#       E    
Of just who he was. 

        D#m                 B 
And the Wayward Son stopped looking. 
      C#               F# 
For a path to lead him home. 
   D#m             B           C# 
He received a revelation, that gave him hope. 
        D#m                 B 
And the Wayward Son stopped yearning. 
        C#            F# 
For the wisdom of the wind. 
    E 
And he began to find out 
B           F#  D#m   E   F# 
Who he was.           Ohh who he was.

     D#m             B 
As a newborn son I'm walking.

On the path that leads me home. 
             D#m           B      C# 
You know the spirit's revelation, gives me hope.

As a newborn son I'm growing.

In the wisdom of God's plan.

Who I am.
