God's Will

You know something, greenherb? If you don't like a song, there's always an option to STOP LISTENING TO IT. Don't complain on here because you think "this song sucks" and "God must be an asshole". Even for someone who isn't religious, this (gasp) does actually have a deeper meaning to it, if you're willing to do more than listen to it and only take it at surface value.

Many times when I look around at the world, I see there's a lot that can crush your spirit and make you want to give up. Especially as you go from being a child to an adult and feel the squeeze of those added responsibilities that adults are made to take on, and it can feel like a lot sometimes! I think there are a lot of "Will"s in this world; individuals who live their lives from day-to-day and are thankful for each day they're given. They aren't weighed down by those pressures, and in their presence we're often reminded to let go of our own problems and learn to live every day to its fullest.

THAT is what I think Martina McBride wants us to take away from this song. Yes, it's about a disabled little boy, but it's also about more than that. It's about not letting all the pressures in life crush you and make you bitter and hard for the rest of your life. In this song, Will is just a personified symbol for cherishing all the small good things in life and remembering that life, no matter what your POV is on it, is a precious gift that shouldn't be wasted with bitterness and cynicism.

I love this song everytime i hear it i just wnat to break down and cry because the meaning of the song just means so much to me and this is by far one of the best songs she has ever recorded.

this song is amazing, because the meaning is so relevant and true, that i am just stopped in awe and think. Especially the music video, when, at the point of "In crayon red, on notebook paper, he'd written Me and God love you" it depicts the boy giving her the note, then driving off as martina opens the note. The note is there, on that notebook paper, in crayon red, with a little drawing.

God will do sumthign to make you stronger, a trail to test your faith. Seeing as the little boy belived in God, he understood that God had a plan in it all!

This song is beautiful. I love it, and I'm sure it inspires a lot of people who know others who suffer from disabilites, or suffer from them themselves.

It shows how much one person can change your perpsective on the world, and has a truly lovely meaning.

And greenherb? It does have a deeper meaning, whether you agree with it or not.

My little brother has autism. When my parents found out, they blamed God and so did I. We thought how could God say he loves us, and then make his "child" autistic. Then as time went on, we discovered that God gave us a gift and that everyday with Tommy is a day we must find strength. God has given us this strength and has given us a miracle. So this song means the world to me.

I love you Tommy

I am the mother of a disabled child, and often struggle with the meaning of it all... But this song assures me that there is a bigger picture.. What my daughter teaches people, even though she cannot speak - it's amazing. Sometimes it's just the message from God saying "Quit your bitchin". sometimes it's other things...

hey green herb. shut up :) lol god, if u cant see the true meaning of this song you need to listen to it again.

This song means so much to me i cry when ever i hear it! Its so sad but yet so fantasically good! Martina McBride is by far the best Female country singer out there today

All you people who think the "bigger plan" is nonsense LISTEN TO THE SONG! Clearly the singer (Martina) is realizing God put this little boy named Will in her life to remind her what is relavent in life and how to appreciate it. He has this disability but he loves life and brings joy to his mom and the singer's life.
