Scars are Beautiful

I've got this little scar that left it's mark

Down underneath my chin

From when I fell off my bike back when

I was just a kid

And oh, the pain and how I cried

And I still remember how it bled

I know I won't forget that time and what my daddy said

Don't cry, it'll get better

In time you'll soon forget it

You'll be fine right now it hurts some

But the healing hasn't happened yet

The pain won't always be there

And someday after the fall, your scrapes and scratches will remind you

Of the hurt you left behind you and you'll see

That scars are beautiful

Each scar is living proof and they tell the truth

About places that you've been

They're all roadmaps to life's lessons made

By sacrifice and sin

And you can let them bring you down

Or you can hold your head up high

Don't let the chance you took to fall

Keep you from the chance you take to try
