I MET GOD'S WILL
ON A HALLOWEEN NIGHT
HE WAS DRESSED
AS A BAG OF LEAVES
IT HID THE BRACES
ON HIS LEGS
AT FIRST
HIS SMILE
WAS AS BRIGHT
AS THE AUGUST SUN
WHEN HE LOOKED AT ME
AS HE STRUGGLED DOWN
THE DRIVEWAY
IT ALMOST MADE ME HURT
WILL DON'T WALK
TOO GOOD
WILL DON'T TALK
TOO GOOD
HE WON'T DO THE THINGS
THAT THE OTHER KIDS DO
IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
I'VE BEEN SEARCHIN'
WONDERIN' THINKIN'
LOST AND LOOKIN'
ALL MY LIFE
I'VE BEEN WOUNDED
JADED
LOVED AND HATED
I'VE WRESTLED
WRONG AND RIGHT
HE WAS A BOY WITHOUT
A FATHER
AND HIS MOTHER'S
MIRACLE
I'VE BEEN READIN'
WRITIN'
PRAYIN' FIGHTIN'
I GUESS I WOULD BE STILL
YEAH EH
THAT WAS UNTIL
I KNEW GOD'S WILL
WILL'S MOM
HAD TO WORK TWO JOBS
WE'D WATCH HIM
WHEN SHE HAD TO
WORK LATE
AND WE'D ALL LAUGH
LIKE I HADN'T LAUGHED
SINCE I DON'T KNOW
WHEN
HEY JUDE
WAS HIS FAVORITE SONG
AT DINNER HE'D ASK
TO PRAY
AND THEN HE'D PRAY
FOR EVERYBODY
IN THE WORLD BUT HIM
I'VE BEEN SEARCHIN'
WONDERIN' THINKIN'
LOST AND LOOKIN'
ALL MY LIFE
I'VE BEEN WOUNDED
JADED
LOVED AND HATED
I'VE WRESTLED
WRONG AND RIGHT
HE WAS A BOY
WITHOUT A FATHER
AND HIS MOTHER'S
MIRACLE
I'VE BEEN READIN'
WRITIN'
PRAYIN' FIGHTIN'
I GUESS I WOULD BE STILL
YEAH EH
THAT WAS UNTIL
I KNEW GOD'S WILL
BEFORE THEY MOVED
TO CALIFORNIA
HIS MOTHER SAID
THEY DIDN'T THINK
HE'D LIVE
AND SHE SAID EACH DAY
THAT I HAVE HIM
WELL IT'S JUST
ANOTHER GIFT
AND I NEVER GOT TO
TELL HER
THAT THE BOY
SHOWED ME THE TRUTH
IN CRAYON RED
ON NOTEBOOK PAPER
HE'D WRITTEN
ME AND GOD
LOVE YOU
I'VE BEEN SEARCHIN'
PRAYIN' WOUNDED
JADED
I GUESS I WOULD BE STILL
YEAH EH
THAT WAS UNTIL
I MET GOD'S WILL
ON A HALLOWEEN NIGHT
HE WAS DRESSED
AS A BAG OF LEAVES
