[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Make no mistake, every prayer you pray
Gets answered, even though
Sometimes, the answer is no"
[Verse 2]
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 smoke, I saw grandpa standing there
[Chorus]
Make no mistake, every prayer you pray
Gets answered, even though
Sometimes, the answer is no"
[Bridge]
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
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
[Chorus]
Make no mistake, every prayer you pray
Gets answered, even though
Sometimes, the answer is no"

Make no mistake, every prayer you pray

Sometimes, the answer is no"
[Bridge]
When I think of all the answers in my life

When I didn't get my way
