Have You Seen My Son? Lyrics & Chords By Benjamin Booker

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
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"

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

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"

Alright

We fought all the way from Florida
Down I-10 to New Orleans
I said God must love everyone
Even the one’s the church loves the least

They say that when a mother loves a child
She would do most anything
I know I can never make it alive
But it's hard to hear you say

"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"
