HEY GRANDAD

歌詞

Your lyrics are always so clever Ha-ha-ha I enjoy them Thank you, thank you So what have you written this new song or so coming out? Yeah, I'm actually been working on a whole album I'm calling the project "Child Of God" Is that right? Yeah, ha-ha Okay, tell me about it Well so it, yeah so it has songs like No Longer Bound And Good Day and it has the really exciting songs It has some more intimate songs But there's this one detail that's kind of flowing through it I came across this Billy Graham testimony Do you remember that? Is that right? Oh, absolutely Do you remember? That was an exciting time Do you remember what year that was? Well, it was when we were in Miami Uh, it probably been in the eighties sometime I wonder if I could look it up I don't know if it, uh yeah So what did you run into on that? Let's actually see if, uh we can go, 1985 There you go That is crazy, uh But you know forty years have passed now And I'm just curious How much of that statement is true? Oh, more so than ever What is life all about? What's the purpose of it? Uh, is it just getting things? And then they get things and then they're not satisfying And Forrest, not in '92 and '93, and both mom and I Are not nearly as stable as we used to be And you look back on your life And you say, what would I have done different? And I would tell you I would do more to be related to God That's the important lesson And you know we've been up and down We've, you know I've had good positions We've had a major financial security, and We've been able to do almost anything we wanted to do And you know when I look back What did all that mean? You know I've got a boat that's '99, was '96, it sits here I don't know whether it'll ever get in the water again That boat had tremendous memories to it And I wouldn't trade that for anything But when you look back And you think, was that the most important thing that I could have done? Or should I spend more time, you know Studying God, and the bible, and-and being more sensitive in that area And helping others Well, Forrest there's no question that God has singled you out To reach out to the younger generation And I think that that's why God has been really working on you And it's God anointed And, but it's got a purpose It's purpose is to reach that younger generation And you happen to be that person Okay, well I am so excited that you called And gave me an update on what's happening And just keep us posted, posted, posted, posted
