Scars

Yes it's been long, yes it's been hard

But surely that's life's plan

To teach you the ways of the human condition

The errors and downfalls of man

To remind you of who you need to become

See mercy before you sleep

To make you alive as the energy falls

Through the burning tears that you weep

Do these scars cover the whole of you

Like the stars and moon in the sky

A sad story means the storyteller's alive, so don't you cry

The next thing you know something fine will happen

And, you'll turn around and smile

So wipe your eyes

A scar means you survived

And life is real

So stand tall out on your own, embracing what's ahead

Listen to music and dance as you laugh

And empty your soul of it's lead

Let down your borders and open your floodgates and

Try and do as you feel

And always remember that this is it life is real

Life is real, oh

Do these scars cover the whole of you

Like the stars and moon in the sky

A sad story means the storyteller's alive, so don't you cry

The next thing you know something fine will happen

And, you'll turn around and smile

So wipe your eyes

A scar means you survived

And life is real

So don't be afraid of the night

For the darkness mends the scars of the day

And don't spend your life just wishing your thoughts

And your memories away

Remember each heartache and let it serve to remind you of who you are

And open your heart to the mysteries that lay ahead

And you'll go far, oh

Do these scars cover the whole of you

Like the stars and moon in the sky

A sad story means the storyteller's alive, so don't you cry

The next thing you know something fine will happen

And, you'll turn around and smile

So wipe your eyes

A scar means you survived

And life is real

Do these scars cover the whole of you

Like the stars and moon in the sky

A sad story means the storyteller's alive, so don't you cry

The next thing you know something fine will happen

And, you'll turn around and smile

So wipe your eyes

A scar means you survived

And life is real
