The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
When Jesus walked upon the earth on the shores of galilee
Said to his disciples: Let the little children come to me
I wonder if up in heaven, do you suppose we'll see
Little children asking: What was I supposed to be?
What was I supposed to be? What were my eyes supposed to see?
Why did I taste of death before I even drew a breath
Or laid my head at my mother's breast to sleep?
Oh Jesus, what was I supposed to be?
Would I be a prophet used in the ministry?
A doctor who would find a cure for some terrible disease?
Even if I'd been born imperfect why couldn't my daddy see
That I'd a been made perfect when you came back for me
Oh Jesus
Jesus- what was I supposed to be?
