Benjamin Booker - Have You Seen My Son lyrics

rate me

You told me that the world is full of sinners

And placed a bible at my feet

I could hardly understand you

I had just learned to chew my meat

I heard that you were calling on The Lord

Asking for answers, for some relief

Heard that you were calling out my name, my name

And you cried for a whole week

Said "have you seen my son, he's lost in the world somewhere

I pray for him every day but I know he ain't seeing Your ways

Is he all right now, is he all right?

As I got older it never got any better

Said I'm trying to find some truth in this world

I know there's things that you won't understand

I heard that you were calling on The Lord

Asking for answers, for some relief

Heard that you were calling out my name, my name

And you cried for a whole week

Said "have you seen my son, he's lost in the world somewhere.

I pray for him every day but I know he ain't seeing Your ways

All right

All right

We fought all the way from Florida

Now locked into New Orleans

I said God must love every one

Even the ones that just loves the least

They say that when a mother loves a child

Oh she would do most anything

I know that I can never make it right

But it's hard to hear you say it

Said "have you seen my son, he's lost in the world somewhere.

I pray for him every day but I know he ain't seeing Your ways

Is he all right now?

Is he all right?
