Scars

When the boy was young, he painted out of line

His friends mocked him and it made him cry

So he never tried again

The young girl who danced ballet

By the age of 10, was a prodigy

Never felt she was good enough

'Cause perfection is what they craved for

Don't you know they'll never win

Mistakes are being made, oh

They might just leave a chance to get up

So you can try again

Like everyone

We all must carry scars in our flesh or in our hearts

Wear them like they're gold souvenirs of getting old

Wear them proud and tall

See the beauty of them all

Embrace everything you see

'Cause scars are part of you

As much a part of me

And The old man who owned the bank

He Lost a wife, a daughter, now without his plans

He almost lost his mind

And the woman who was painted, once a beauty

Now she is aging, might soon lie beneath the ground

Perfection is what they craved for

Don't you know they'll never win

Mistakes are being made, oh

They might just leave a chance to get up

So you can try again

Like everyone

We all must carry scars in our flesh or in our hearts

Wear them like they're gold souvenirs of getting old

Wear them proud and tall

See the beauty of them all

Embrace everything you see

'Cause scars are part of you

Perfection is what you crave for

And don't you know you'll never win

Mistakes are being made, oh

They might just leave a chance to get up

So you can try again

Like everyone

We all must carry scars in our flesh or in our hearts

Wear them like they're gold souvenirs of getting old

Wear them proud and tall

See the beauty of them all

Embrace everything you see

'Cause scars are part of you

As much a part of me
