1
On my fifth birthday I got so upset
2
About the brand new bike that I didn't get
3
I'd prayed my heart out and it didn't seem fair.
4
I told my grandpa, "I guess God doesn't care"
5
And he just smiled and said, "My child,"
6
"Make no mistake
7
Every prayer you pray gets answered
8
Even though
9
Sometimes, the answer is no."
10
Five years later, out behind the shed
11
With a stolen pack of grandpa's cigarettes
12
I struck a match, and held that first one to my lips
13
And prayed to God, "Please let me get away with this."
14
And through the smoky air I saw grandpa standing there.
15
Make no mistake
16
Every prayer you pray gets answered
17
Even though
18
Sometimes, the answer is no
19
When I think of all the answers in my life, I would have to say
20
There's no doubt it was always for the best when I didn't get my way.
21
Grandpa got older, like grandpas do
22
His health was failing and I guess I knew
23
It'd be best if he was called on home
24
But selfishly I prayed that God would keep him hanging on
25
And when he passed away, in my mind I heard him say.
26
Make no mistake
27
Every prayer you pray gets answered
28
Even though
29
Sometimes, the answer is no.
30
Sometimes the answer
31
Is no.
