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
[Chorus:] 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
[Chorus]
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 that was
until... I met God's Will on a Halloween night He was dressed as a bag of
leaves
