vithun - uncle's influence lyrics
[verse 1]
4 weeks in the icu
but we never thought we wouldn’t see you at the end of it all
still
don’t think it’ll sink in
feel like the family’s sinking
you were the glue that kept it whole
now there’s a hole in our heart
10:20 on the 2nd of may
news broke and right as it did it broke us all apart
i don’t know where to start
but
look at all the love from the corners
countries, the globe full of mourners
messages all for you
respect all for you
and tears
awful
you touched so many people
positive impact
genuine article
n0body can ever take that from you
why did he take you?
address that to god if he’s listening
i got a couple things i want to ask him
like why let a virus harm him?
that man was you in the form of a human
i’m human, so that’s why i’m asking the question
cos one day his son’s gonna ask me the same thing
i want to know what i should tell him
but what can i tell him?
what can we tell them?
they’re hurting
and words won’t make any difference
and we can’t make any sense of this either
we can’t even hug her,comfort, shield her
can’t even be there for fear of contraction
and that makes the pain much deeper
but uncle’s influence, so much deeper
everyone he came into contact with
he left them that much better
so much better
[verse 2]
he left this place much better than he found it
it feels like a light’s been extinguished
character flaw, you can’t find any
his reputation distinguished
respect is earned,and if that was the measure of wealth
his riches, you wouldn’t imagine
the life of the party
the source of the action
the picture, the post and the caption
so i still don’t quite believe my eyes
captions read in memory of
we literally just saw you like not even 2 months ago
but going through all these pictures
i realise you were a one true constant
always here
laughing, smiling,
larger than life
with an aura fit for a leader
and make no mistake, that’s what you were
no scratch that, that’s what you are, you’re still here
just not like before, just not in the same way
physically, can’t see you
but d+mn sure see all the foundations you laid
hard work
with a passion for life
drive and ambition
with a love for your wife,and your son even more so
it seems impossible to think about now
but i promise he’ll grow with that same bravado
a gusto his father would be so so so proud of
kaaviyan, he’ll be fine, we’ve got him
vish and i, we’ve got him
he’s got his daddy’s dna within him
and daddy watching bird’s eye view right above him, protecting
we’ll protect him
and that’s how we’ll honour your legacy
it doesn’t come close but it’s one way, the best way that we can say thank you
n0body, nothing can replace you
but
he won’t forget you
we won’t forget you
and suba sithy, we’ll get her through this
bet you, she’ll rise up to the challenge, you’ll help her
light the way when it’s dark and guide her
be her strength when she’s weak and find her
give her a sign now and then, let her know you’re beside her
and when it gets difficult, we’re right there
we’ll hold her, hold her higher
we’ll miss you more than words describe
but you left a present for us
a 101 on how to do this thing called life
pradhaban mama, sleep easy, rest tight
things down here, they’ll be alright
