Lyrics

[Verse 1]
On my fifth birthday
Got so upset
About the brand-new bike
That I didn't get
[Verse 2]
I'd prayed my heart out and it
Didn't seem fair
I told my grandpa, "I guess
God doesn't care"
[Verse 3]
And he just smiled
And said, "My child
[Verse 4]
Make no mistake
Every prayer you pray get's answered
Even though
Sometimes the answer is 'no'"
[Verse 5]
And five years later
Out behind the shed
With a stolen pack of
Grandpa's cigarettes
[Verse 6]
I struck a match
And held that first one to my lips
And prayed to God
"Please, let me get away with this"
[Verse 7]
And through the smoky air
I saw Grandpa standing there
[Verse 8]
Make no mistake
Every prayer you pray get's answered
Even though
Sometimes the answer is 'no'
[Verse 9]
When I think of all the answers in my life
I would have to say
There's no doubt it was always for the best
When I didn't get my way
[Verse 10]
Well, Grandpa got older
Like grandpas do
His health was failing and
I guess I knew
That it'd be best if he was
Called on home
But selfishly I prayed that God would
Keep him hanging on
[Verse 11]
And when he passed away
In my mind I heard him say
[Verse 12]
"Make no mistake
Every prayer you pray get's answered
Even though
Sometimes the answer is 'no'
Sometimes the answer is 'no'"
