[Verse]
Am              F        C
I once knew your father well
          Am                  F   
He fought tears as he spoke of 
      C
your mother's health
        Am                F       
I guess a part of him just 
  C
couldn’t return
 Am                         F     
Forgiveness is a lesson he cursed 
          C          F  C  G
you to learn

Am                           F   
As your guardian I was instructed
    C
 well
  Am                               
To make sense of God’s love in 
   F        C      G
these fires of hell
Am                     F   C
No I don’t expect you to understand
Am                                 
Just to live what little life your 
F           C
broken heart can

[Chorus]
F                     Am
Maybe your light is a seed

                    G
And the darkness the dirt
F                      Am
In spite of the uneven odds
                     G
Beauty lifts from the earth
         F       C   F   C
From the earth
       Am       F      C
From the earth


[Verse 2]
      Am                   F      
As the years move on these 
        C       G
questions take shape
Am                             F 
Are you getting stronger or is 
            C
time shifting weight?
Am                  F      C
No one expects you to understand
    Am                             
Just to live what little life your 
F            C
mended heart can


[Bridge]
                           Am    
You’ll always remember the moment 
              G
God took her away
        F                      
For the weight of the world was 
Am              Dm        G
placed on your shoulders that day


[Chorus]
F                     Am
Maybe your light is a seed
                    G
And the darkness the dirt
F                      Am
In spite of the uneven odds
                     G
Beauty lifts from the earth
         F       C   F   C
From the earth

       Am             C
You’re much too young now

So I write these words down,
Am                       F       
“Darkness exists to make light 
    C
truly count.”
