Lyrics
Beautiful Scars
Things are tough – you are tougher
The storm is rough – you’re made for rougher
Courage my love – you won’t suffer much longer
It’s always darkest before it’s brighter
The night is strong but you are mightier
It’s time to wake up that prize fighter - Rise up, rise up!
These lines tell a story of who you are
You’ll bend but not break - you’ll heal with scars
Your beautiful scars
Beautiful scars
They tried to break you - you got stronger
You can endure – but how much longer?
Deep inside there’s a hunger – a fire that will not burn out!
You are outnumbered but not alone
You are fearless to the bone
On the Solid Rock you build your home - no one can tear you down
Beautiful Scars
Things are tough – you are tougher
The storm is rough – you’re made for rougher
Courage my love – you won’t suffer much longer
It’s always darkest before it’s brighter
The night is strong but you are mightier
It’s time to wake up that prize fighter - Rise up, rise up!
These lines tell a story of who you are
You’ll bend but not break - you’ll heal with scars
Your beautiful scars
Beautiful scars
They tried to break you - you got stronger
You can endure – but how much longer?
Deep inside there’s a hunger – a fire that will not burn out!
You are outnumbered but not alone
You are fearless to the bone
On the Solid Rock you build your home - no one can tear you down
These lines tell a story of who you are
You’ll bend but not break - you’ll heal with scars
Your beautiful scars
Beautiful scars
I still believe
Roll up my sleeves
The battles on
I’ve just begun to embrace my beautiful scars
