Uncle's song

Uncle's song

I don't know how I make it from day to day
Thinking about how I'll earn my pay
Others are thinking how they'll go on without their child
It's the way of the world but it's not right

I'll send my love to the mom and dad
They're doing all the best they can
Dealing with these things inside my head
It helps this uncle crying in his bed

There must've been a change of plans
Must be something good if they needed her that bad
But some things I just can't understand
How some are born into a broken home, and others are taken from the loving arms of their mom and dad
