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.
I passed a home the other day the yard was filled with kids at play
And on the sidewalk of this home a little boy stood all alone
His smiling face was sweet and kind but I could see the boy was blind
He listened to the children play I bowed my head and there I prayed
Dear Lord above why must this be and then these words came down to me
After all you're just a man and it's not for you to understand
It's not for you to reason why you too are blind without my eyes
So question not what I command cause it's not for you to understand
[ steel ]
Now when I pray my prayer is one I pray his will not mine be done
After all I'm just a man and it's not for me to understand
