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 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
