My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son

The name I was given

Was Luke 15:21

3 days of thunder 3 days of rain
C Bb Gm
I come to be in this world with a number and a name
Gm
My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
C Gm
I stand as a witness to the things I have done
C Gm
And I have caused sorrow yet I too have been pained
C Bb Gm
You cannot be in this world and not get stained

My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
C Gm
I once had beliefs but now I have none
C Gm
There is no forgiveness for old guns and knives
C Bb Gm
Perhaps it is fitting we don't recall our past lives
Gm
My last name is Younger I am the last Younger son
C Gm
There is a secret I never told anyone
C Gm
Sometimes I see something in a few certain eyes
C Bb Gm
And I behold the future of how and when a man dies

And an old friend is waiting just beyond the closed door
