ApologetiX - Hurry Home Wayward Son - Recovery

ApologetiX Parody of Kansas "Carry On Wayward Son" called "Hurry Home Wayward Son"

Lyrics:
Hurry Home Wayward Son
Parody of Carry On Wayward Son performed by Kansas and written by Kerry Livgren
(Luke 15:11-32)

Hurry home my wayward son
There'll be a feast when you are done
Stay here with me and be blest
Don't you hide no more

Once I raised a couple boys -- yes, my two sons
Didn't ever think that I'd ever lose one
I was sure he'd never try it
But he grew too wild
So he asked if he could get his inheritance
Though it saddened me I still was his parent
I hear my boy is spending freely
I just fear he'll pay
CHORUS

As I'm waiting there's a famine where he's been
My son may be in the gutter and bleedin'
But didn't I train him to be a wise man, well
He should be safe, but I don't know
From the stories people tell me he's broke and
Tossin' out his life to pigs an old pen
I sit on the porch and wait here for him
Will I see my boy this day?
CHORUS

Hurry home -- you will always be my boy
Hurry home -- there's no need to be shy boy
Though you left you're always family
Surely there's a place for you
CHORUS

Luke 15:20
"So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him."

[Soulstiger]

I am always surprised how well they manage to do considering they arn't a parody band of a specific band and the wide range of songs they do.

[agnusdei08]

i agree it sounds like the orig. i luv kansas alot. i grew up listening 2 dem. carry on wayward son is 1 of my all tym favorite prog rock song and lately i found out about apologetix and i like the parody of the band esp. coz im a christian and i like their rendition of some faved songs like stairway to heaven, tom sawyer, bohemian rhapsody, hotel california, another brick in the wall. and now just this day i discovered this my all time fave prog rock to a parody, splendidly and amazingly done.

[nowaydudebook]

yeah, u guys nailed it. praise Jesus!

[Darknightsayni]

The funny part about the cover is that the original song is about the prodigal son...

The Apologetix never cease to amaze me. I'm just wondering if they are aware that Wayward Son was remade by Rachel Rachel (an all-female Christian band) back in the early 1990s. The Rachel Rachel version featured a cameo appearance by Kerry Livgren (co-founder and guitarist for Kansas). I believe that the lyrics in the Rachel Rachel version were either unchanged or had only minor changes. Either way, when you look at it from a Christ-like perspective, it takes on a whole new meaning!

Its sounds great! love m all keep rock n

[SonicSilverShadowGf]

Its sounds great!

[run4urlyfe380]

WHY would you do this

[arlenazeek1]

love this....

[Rawk4Life]

No, it wasn't. None of the members were Christians when releasing the album that Carry On Wayward Son appeared on. When Kerry Livegren became a Christian, he recorded one more album with Kansas and then left the band. However, other members of the band overtime became Christians as well, such as Dave Hope and John Elefante.

[Tocy777]

wasnt this originally a christian song? XD

@333AndMan Anything with God in it is much better than anything without! Much moreso when it's awesome music like this!
