Have You Seen My Son?

You told me that the world is full of sinners And placed a bible at my feet I could hardly understand you Oh, I had just learned to chew my meat I heard that you were calling on the Lord Asking for answers, for some relief I heard that you were calling out my name (my name!) And that you cried for a whole week Saying, "Have you seen my son? He’s lost in the world somewhere I pray for him every day But I know he ain't seen your ways (Is he alright?)" As I got older It never got any better I said I’m trying to find some truth in this world I know there’s things that you won't understand We fought all the way from Florida Down I-10 to New Orleans I said God must love everyone Even the ones the Church loves the least They say that when a mother loves her child She will do most anything I know that I can never make it right But it's hard to hear you say it Yeah, "Have you seen my son? He’s lost in the world somewhere I pray for him every day But I know he ain't seen your ways."
