[00:14.17]On my fifth birthday' I got so upset'
[00:19.55]
[00:20.42]About the brand new bike' that I didn't get.
[00:25.28]
[00:26.47]I'd prayed my heart out' and it didn't seem fair'
[00:31.41]
[00:32.78]I told my grandpa' I guess God doesn't care'
[00:36.97]And he just smiled' and said my child'
[00:44.12]Make no mistake' every prayer you pray'
[00:50.49]gets answered' even though'
[00:55.24]
[00:56.74]sometimes' the answer is no.
[01:04.27]
[01:10.21]Five years later' out behind the shed'
[01:15.40]
[01:16.71]With a stolen pack of grandpa's cigarettes'
[01:20.84]
[01:22.21]I struck a match' and held that first one to my lips'
[01:27.09]
[01:28.53]And prayed to God please let me get away with this'
[01:33.53]And through the smoke' I saw grandpa standing there.
[01:38.72]
[01:39.90]Make no mistake' every prayer you pray'
[01:46.36]gets answered' even though'
[01:50.93]
[01:52.68]sometimes' the answer is no.
[02:00.62]
[02:26.60]When I think of all the answers in my life'
[02:31.55]I would have to say'
[02:34.79]
[02:38.36]There's no doubt it was always for the best'
[02:43.55]
[02:46.67]When I didn't get my way.
[02:49.48]
[02:54.11]Grandpa got older' like grandpas do'
[02:59.32]
[03:00.57]His health was failing' I and guess I knew'
[03:05.33]
[03:06.82]It'd be best if he was called on hold'
[03:11.70]
[03:12.64]but selfishly I prayed that God would keep him hanging on'
[03:17.56]And when he passed away' in my mind I heard him say.
[03:24.43]Make no mistake' every prayer you pray'
[03:30.87]gets answered' even though'
[03:35.26]
[03:36.95]sometimes' the answer is no.
[03:45.55]
[03:49.61]sometimes' the answer is no.
