Scars

This is for my mother

From the older brother of your children made of three

Now you found your lover

‘Cause it wasn’t our father

Who made you laugh and happy

It’s been a long five years

I’ve cried a thousand tears

And here we are after the war

But we’re so much better now the skies are clearer

Now there’s no more slamming doors

Now I say, dear mother, how you’ve come so far?

Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts

I hope you’re proud, mother, of what you’ve done

It’s a lifelong lesson and I’m not pretending when I say

You cleared up my scars

You cleared up my scars

This is for my father

From the older brother of your children made of three

Yeah, you’ve been so good to us

And showed us how to live and taught us to be free

But when mother told you that she didn’t love you

All these bridges hit the sea

So you built another one and helped us cross it

Even though you were in need

Now I say, dear father, how you’ve come so far?

Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts

I hope you’re proud, father, of what you’ve done

It’s a lifelong lesson and I’m not pretending when I say

You cleared up my scars

You cleared up my scars

You cleared up my scars

You cleared up my scars

Dear mother, how you’ve come so far?

Your love has fixed all of our broken hearts

I hope you’re proud, mother, of what you’ve done

It’s a lifelong lesson and I’m not pretending when I say

You cleared up my scars
