lyrics

So you think that I’m some kind of prodigal
That some day I’ll show up with my head hung low
That may be so, that may be so
But would you shame yourself to receive me?
Would you shame yourself to receive me?

You took what I gave to you
You took it, and you walked away
You and your new friends had your fun
You had your day, now you’re so low
And you think nobody knows
You’re so low, and you think nobody knows
Could I shame myself and receive you?
Should I shame myself to receive you?

There are three things I’m certain of
My family, and my home, and a love
That cannot be understood but can be known
It can be known, Oh Lord, it can be known
It can be known, Oh Lord, it can be known
You’d shame yourself to receive me
You’d shame yourself to receive me

about

Jacob Mau Chicago, Illinois

Jacob Mau spins compelling stories of misfit people and misplaced landscapes oft overlooked by others, and ignored by history. As this year's winner of Chicago's longest-running open mic competition, hosted annually by Uncommon Ground, he is clearly a standout among the city's best singer-songwriters. Good things await this young musician."
