[00:13.88]On my fifth birthday, I got so upset,
[00:20.02]About the brand new bike, that I didn't get.
[00:26.01]I'd prayed my heart out, and it didn't seem fair,
[00:32.14]I told my grandpa, I guess God doesn't care,
[00:37.01]And he just smiled, and said my child,
[00:43.92]Make no mistake, every prayer you pray,
[00:49.98]gets answered, even though,
[00:56.28]sometimes, the answer is no.
[01:06.55]
[01:09.78]Five years later, out behind the shed,
[01:16.31]With a stolen pack of grandpa's cigarettes,
[01:21.88]I struck a match, and held that first one to my lips,
[01:28.02]And prayed to God please let me get away with this,
[01:32.99]And through the smoke, I saw grandpa standing there.
[01:39.69]Make no mistake, every prayer you pray,
[01:45.96]gets answered, even though,
[01:52.09]sometimes, the answer is no.
[02:04.69]
[02:26.03]When I think of all the answers in my life,
[02:31.01]I would have to say,
[02:37.87]There's no doubt it was always for the best,
[02:46.12]When I didn't get my way.
[02:52.82]
[02:53.93]Grandpa got older, like grandpas do,
[03:00.08]His health was failing, and I guess I knew,
[03:06.11]It'd be best if he was called on hold,
[03:12.06]but selfishly I prayed that God would keep him hanging on,
[03:17.03]And when he passed away, in my mind I heard him say.
[03:23.87]Make no mistake, every prayer you pray,
[03:30.03]gets answered, even though,
[03:36.88]sometimes, the answer is no.
[03:48.97]Sometimes, the answer,
[03:56.98]is no.
