I'll light a candle at night
And hope the shape of your face
Starts to form in the flame
You used to be someone
I'd never thought much of
But now I look at the sky
My mothers tears
My fathers support
The hospital bed and the life support
The doctor said it was too late
Only a little time left
But I didn't cry
I held it deep inside
I thought I was a man, I wouldn't shed a tear
You were my mothers brother
The uncle i could relate to
I wish i could say to you that you really mattered
But I didn't cry
I held it deep inside
I thought I was a man, I wouldn't shed a tear
You were my mothers brother
The uncle i could relate to
I wish i could say to you that you really mattered
