Intro:
C Am G
F Am G (x2)
F C G

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

Am              F    C
As your guardian I was instructed well
 Am                 F    C   G
To make sense of God?s love in these fires of hell
Am           F  C
No I don?t expect you to understand
Am                 F      C
Just to live what little life your 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

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


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

Chorus:
(or you can do the chords to the first chorus)
C
Maybe your light is the seed
           G
And the darkness the dirt
C
In spite of the uneven odds
           G
Beauty lifts from the earth
     F   C  G  C G
From the earth

F C F C Am F C

    Am       C
You?re much too young now

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