Uneven Odds Lyrics


I once knew your father well
He fought tears as he spoke
Of your mother's health
I guess a part of him just couldn't return
Forgiveness is a lesson
He cursed you to learn
As your guardian
I was instructed well
To make sense of Gods love
In these fires of hell
No I don't expect you to understand
Just to live what little life
Your broken heart can
Maybe your light is a sea
And the darkness the dirt
In spite of the uneven odds
Beauty lives from the earth
From the earth

From the earthAs the years move on
These questions take shape
Are you getting stronger
Or is time shifting weight
No one expects you to understand
Just to live what little life
Your mended heart canYou'll always remember the moment
God took her away
For the weight of the world
Was placed on your shoulders that day
Maybe your light is the sea
And the darkness the dirt
In spite of the uneven odds
Beauty lives from the earth
From the earthYou're much too young now
So I write these words down
Darkness exists to make light truly count

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Ryan O'Neal's journey has taken many turns over the past twelve years under the moniker of Sleeping At Last. What began in 1999 as a Chicago-based teenage garage band has organically transitioned to original songwriter O'Neal as a solo artist continuing the gorgeous thread of work that has amazed and captivated listeners over all these years. Near its inception, Sleeping At Last's amateur debut album, "Capture," was noticed by Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan, who helped expose the music to the major-label world.
