[00:48.54]I once knew your father well
[00:57.94]He fought tears as he spoke of
[01:02.25]your mother's health
[01:08.33]I guess a part of him just couldn't return
[01:19.18]Forgiveness is a lesson he cursed you to learn
[01:29.33]As your guardian I was instructed well
[01:39.16]to make sense of God's love in these fires of Hell
[01:49.49]No I don't expect you to understand
[01:59.32]just to live what little life your broken heart can
[02:09.74]Maybe your light is a seed
[02:13.69]and the darkness the dirt
[02:21.22]in spite of the uneven odds
[02:25.19]beauty lifts from the earth
[02:31.77]from the earth
[02:43.44]from the earth
[02:54.11]As the years move on
[02:57.52]and these questions take shape
[03:04.93]are you getting stronger or is time shifting weight?
[03:15.05]No one expects you to understand
[03:24.92]just to live what little life your mended heart can
[03:34.98]You'll always remember the moment God took her away
[03:46.57]for the weight of the world was placed on your shoulders that day
[03:58.43]Maybe your light is a seed
[04:02.10]and the darkness the dirt
[04:09.55]in spite of the uneven odds
[04:13.46]beauty lifts from the earth
[04:20.08]from the earth
[04:25.91]from the earth
[04:31.86]from the earth
[04:37.57]from the earth
[04:41.84]from the earth
[05:05.41]You're much too young now
[05:08.02]so I write these words down
[05:15.58]"Darkness exists to make Light truly count"
