Uneven Odds Lyrics - Sleeping At Last

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 the lesson 

he cursed you to learn. 

As your guardian, I was instructed well 

to make sense of God's love in these fires of hell. 

Now I don't expect you to understand, 

just to live what little life 

your broken heart can. 

Maybe your light is a seed, 

and the darkness, the dirt. 

in spite of the uneven odds 

beauty lifts from the earth.

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

As 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 can. 

You'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 a seed, 

and the darkness, the dirt. 

in spite of the uneven odds 

beauty lifts from the earth.

You're much too young now 

so I'll write these words down: 

darkness exists 

to make light truly count.
