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 untilI 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 justanother gift
And I never got to tell her, that the boy

Showed me the truthIn crayon red, on notebook paper, he'd written
Me and God love youI've been searchin', prayin', wounded, jadedI 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
