No
On my fifth birthday I got so upset
在我的第五個生日上,我傷心至極
因為我沒有得到我夢寐以求的新自行車
About the brand new bike that I didnt get .
我衷心的祈禱著,但這似乎也無濟於事
我對爺爺說:”我想上帝確乎不在意吧。”
Id prayed my heart out and it didnt seem fair
他笑著回答“我的孩子啊,
這不是上帝的錯,每天都有無數像你的人,祈禱著
I told my grandpa I guess God doesnt care
想要得到答案,就算這樣
And he just smiled and said my child
有時答案是“不。 ”
Make no mistake every prayer you pray
五年後,小屋的後面
gets answered even though
爺爺一包被偷香煙的香煙失而復得
我劃燃一根火柴並把它放在嘴邊
sometimes the answer is no.
祈禱著上帝請讓我逃離這悲寂,就如同香煙飄散無痕
透過香煙,我看見爺爺站在那
Five years later out behind the shed
這不是上帝的錯,每天都有無數像你的人,祈禱著
想要得到答案,就算這樣
With a stolen pack of grandpas cigarettes
有時他要告訴你要堅強面對,不要逃避,就像爺爺一樣
當我回憶起我這一生中得到的答案時
I struck a match and held that first one to my lips
不得不說
毋庸置疑,我總是期望最好
And prayed to God please let me get away with this
雖然從未如我所願過
And through the smoke I saw grandpa standing there.
而爺爺也日漸白髮滿鬢之時
我明白他似乎也到了捲進殘花風未定之日
Make no mistake every prayer you pray
呼籲祖父永遠年輕是最好不過了
gets answered even though
可我自私的對上帝祈禱說:我只想他好好的活著
彌留之際,我聽他在我耳邊輕言
sometimes the answer is no.
這不是上帝的錯,每天都有無數像你的人,祈禱著
想要得到答案,就算這樣,
When I think of all the answers in my life
而有時答案是“不。 '
I would have to say
是,離別必然是傷心的,但我們要堅強,不要逃避。
Theres no doubt it was always for the best
When I didnt get my way.
Grandpa got older like grandpas do
His health was failing I and guess I knew
Itd be best if he was called on hold
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.
