Sleeping At Last - Uneven Odds [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
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 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

[Chorus]
Maybe 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 earth

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]

[Outro]
You're much too young now
So I'll write these words down:
"Darkness exists to make life truly count."
