Intro

 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', thinking’

 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

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Bridge

 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

flat

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
