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
