Scars

Digging deep into identity

We unearth what’s buried: The purpose in the pain

So dredge the bay inside of me

Yeah dredge the bay

Becoming who I’m made

Dredge the bay

All my scars speak to who I am beneath the skin

I’ll tear away the mask I wore

And upon release of the weight of the past, recovery will come

And every breath I inhale will hold inspiration

I see beauty in the rain, purpose in the pain

Taste the infinitely sweet in the bitterness of defeat

Beauty in the rain, purpose in the pain!

And though our scars remain, there is healing

This broken heart will mend again with every beating

The darkness breaking, and now I see how every sunrise is a gift

The weight of the darkness I used to carry

Lifted like a fog and burned away

I found the life I thought was dead

And now I’m holding tight to this second chance

I will not give in

This is resilience

I will not give in

I am resilient

These scars are not a weakness in the fabric from which I was made

They are reminders to spur me on

To climb onward to higher heights

Here and now, eyes to the sky

I’ll pray for strength to stand

And when all hope is fleeting

These waves still carry me to shore

And each time I get back up

I shake away the sands of the past

I no longer doubt, that I am here with purpose

There is a design behind the chaos

We are all refined through struggles we endure

Let us never forget the wounds

So every breath we inhale will hold inspiration

And though our scars remain, there is healing

This broken heart will mend again with every beating

The darkness breaking, and now I see how every sunrise is a gift
