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
He'd say to his disciples,
Let the little children come to me
I wonder if up in heaven
Do you suppose we'll see
Little children ask Him,
What was I supposed to be?
CHORUS:
What was I supposed to be?
What were my eyes supposed to see?
And 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?
CHORUS
Was I to be a prophet
Used in the ministry?
A doctor who would find the cure
For some terrible disease?
Even if I'd been born imperfect
Why couldn't my parents see
That I'd have been made perfect
When you came back for me?
Oh, Jesus,
CHORUS
What was I supposed to be?
Jesus, what was I supposed to be?
