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 learnAs your guardian I was instructed well
To make sense of God's love in these fires of hell
No I don't expect you to understand
Just to live what little life your broken heart canMaybe your light is a seed
And the darkness the dirt
In spite of the uneven odds
Beauty lifts 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 dayMaybe your light is the seed
And the darkness the dirt
In spite of the uneven odds

Beauty lifts from the earth
From the earthYou're much too young now
So I write these words down,
"Darkness exists to make light truly count."
