Brad Paisley No song lyrics

On my fifth birthday I got so upset

About the brand new bike that I didn't get

I'd prayed my heart out and it didn't seem fair.

I told my grandpa, "I guess God doesn't care"

And he just smiled and said, "My child,"

"Make no mistake

Every prayer you pray gets answered

Even though

Sometimes, the answer is no."

Five years later, out behind the shed

With a stolen pack of grandpa's cigarettes

I struck a match, and held that first one to my lips

And prayed to God, "Please let me get away with this."

And through the smoky air I saw grandpa standing there.

Make no mistake

Every prayer you pray gets answered

Even though

Sometimes, the answer is no

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.

Grandpa got older, like grandpas do

His health was failing and I guess I knew

It'd be best if he was called on home

But selfishly I prayed that God would keep him hanging on

And when he passed away, in my mind I heard him say.

Make no mistake

Every prayer you pray gets answered

Even though

Sometimes, the answer is no.

Sometimes the answer

Is no.
