"God's Will"

[tartantabbycat]

This one just struck me. Has anyone ever heard the song, "God's Will" by Martina Mcbride? It's lovely and a bit sad, but I wondered, what if Minerva was faced with a student like 'Will'? I think she would react something like the narrator in this song. Here are the words:

God's Will
by Martina Mcbride

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

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 met 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 met 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

Well? What do you all think? Can it be done? Take this poigant, wide-eyed little plot bunny home with you today!

Oh my Gosh these lyrics are So Beautiful! I've never heard the song before, but now I really want to!

It'll take some time for me to get it done, but if no one else already has, I'd liek to adopt this plot bunny. I'm not much of a song-fic-er, though...but I'll come up with something!

I highly recomend the music video! I cried when I saw it the first time. Another good one by Martina McBride is "Concrete Angel." I also cried during that music video. They are on Yahoo Music.

I saw both "Concrete Angel" and "God's Will" music video and their so... I had tears in my eyes which is something I rarely have. It's so touching. And Martina McBride's eyes are soo pretty hehehe

Hope someone picks this Song Fic the song is really touching.
