Here Are Lyrics to Brandon Lake's "Daddy's DNA"

Brandon Lake's latest song, "Daddy's DNA," was released on April 29, 2025, as a promotional single from his upcoming album King of Hearts, set to launch on June 13, 2025. The song delves into themes of personal struggle, redemption, and the enduring grace of God, drawing inspiration from the biblical parable of the Prodigal Son.
In "Daddy's DNA," Lake narrates a journey of rebellion and return, expressing feelings of being lost and the hope of forgiveness. The lyrics reflect a deep yearning to reconnect with one's spiritual roots, emphasizing the idea that, despite one's missteps, the essence of the Father remains within.
Verse 1
I thought the world had something special I was missing
My 'daddy 'told me not 'to chase it, didn't listen
I fell 'downhill a mile a minute
Before I knew it, I was livin'
In a pig sty a long, long way from home
Chorus
I went runnin' like a rebel
Racked up debts I couldn't pay
I went dancing with the devil
With one foot in the grave
How the Heaven did I get here?
Went and threw it all away
All I've given You was trouble
All You've given me was grace
Verse 2
And the freedom I was chasing felt like prison
'Cause Lord, I've done so many things, wish I didn't
And after all the risky business
Could I ever be forgiven?
I'm afraid to even ask to come back home
Chorus
'Cause I went runnin' like a rebel
Racked up debts I couldn't pay
I went dancing with the devil
With one foot in the grave
How the Heaven did I get here?
Went and threw it all away
All I've given You was trouble
All You've given me is grace
Given me was grace
Bridge
When I sobered up, and came back to my senses
I was too far gone to make up all the distance
I gambled all that I'd been given
I was broke, alone and wishing
That I could turn around and go back home
When I heard the sound of footsteps down the road
Chorus
And You came runnin' like a rebel
Paid off debts I couldn't pay
You went dancing with the devil
Sent that liar to his grave
How the Heaven did I get here?
Where every sin has been erased
All I've given You was trouble
All You've given me is grace, given me was grace
There was something in the marrow
Always coursing through my veins
Buried deeper than the rubble
Is my daddy's DNA
