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?
