Lyrics

I (Bm)met God’s Will on a (G)Hal low een night, he was (D)dressed as a bag of leaves.

It hid the brac es on his legs at first.

His (Bm)smile was as bright as the (G)Au gust sun (D)when he (A)looked at me.

As he (G)strug gled down the drive way, it (D)al most made me hurt.

Will don’t walk too good,

Will don’t talk too good.

He won’t do the things that the (D)oth er kids do in our (A7sus)neigh bor hood.

I’ve been (D)search in’, won d’rin’, (Em7)think in’, lost and (D)look in’ all my life.

At (D)din ner he’d ask to pray.

And then he (G)prayed for ev ’ry bod y in the (D)world but him.
