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 in 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
