scars are beautiful

i've got this little scar that left it's mark down underneath my chin

from when i fell off of 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

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

these scrapes and scratches will remind you

of the hurt you left behind and you'll see that

scars are beautiful

each scar is living proof

ya they tell the truth 'bout places that you've been

they're all roadmaps to life's lessons made by sacrifice and sin

and you can let 'em 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
