Listen to Me

Listen to Me Joseph O'Brien

1 Verse:
He would watch my baseball games each Monday
I'd go over to his house to play that dumb old PGA game
And I didn't understand
That he was just a man who'd never change

2 Verse:
And I thought I was too young to present it
Yeah, my parents gave him everything he needed for repentance
But he said, "That's not for me"
Momma cried and dad would plea while I just played

Chorus:
Ooh-ooh, all the things I should've said
Ooh-ooh, maybe he would've had a chance
To turn around, take the leap
If I had another opportunity
Would he listen to me?

3 Verse:
He was full of love and lots of laughter
A good husband who was quite affectionate to my grandmother
So loyal but so lost
Oh, you never would've thought he ran from God

Chorus:
Ooh-ooh, all the things I should've said
Ooh-ooh, maybe he would've had a chance
To turn around, take the leap
If I had another opportunity
Would he listen to me?

Post Chorus:
Oh, would he list to me?
Oh, would he list to me?
Listen to me?
Oh

Bridge:
I'd tell him Jesus, only Jesus
Can forgive every sin you have done
It's not too late, please believe me
Grandad, you're never too far gone

4 Verse:
And as I sat there looking at the ashes
The questions started burning in my heart as I reflected
What if I had spoken up?
Would he have given love a second glance?

5 Verse:
No, I can't blame myself for his rejection
'Cause probably if I shared what I believed he'd lose attention
But that's what hurts me most
I guess I'll never know 'cause I missed my chance
