HEY GRANDAD Lyrics By Forrest Frank
Intro
Your lyrics are always so clever,
Hahaha, I enjoy them,
Thank you, thank you.
Verse 1
So what have you written, this new song or so coming out?
Yeah, I’ve actually been working on a whole album,
I’m calling the project Child of God.
Pre-Chorus
Is that right?
Yeah, haha, okay, tell me about it.
Well, so it has songs like No Longer Bound,
And Good Day and Up,
And you know, it has the really exciting songs,
It has some more intimate songs.
Chorus
But there’s this one detail 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.
Verse 2
Do you remember what year that was?
Well, it was when we were in Miami,
Uh, it probably was 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?
Bridge
Let’s actually see if, oh here we 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?
Chorus
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 they’re not satisfying.
Verse 3
And Forrest, not in ’92 and ’93,
And both mom and I are not nearly as stable as we used to be.
Um, and you look back on your life,
And you say, what would I have done different?
Bridge 2
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,
I’ve had, we’ve had major financial security, and
We’ve been able to do almost anything we wanted to do.
Chorus
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.
Verse 4
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 being more sensitive in that area, and helping others.
Outro
Well, Forrest, there’s no question that God has singled you out
To reach out to the younger generation.
And I think that’s why God has been really working on you.
It’s God anointed, and, but it’s got a purpose.
Its 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.
