God's Will

God's Will - The Tribute Co.

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 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 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 jut 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 that was until

I met God's Will on a Halloween night

He was dressed as a bag of leaves
