"These Scars Still Shine"
Verse 1
I have walked through nights that never seemed to end,
Held my broken heart and learned to smile again.
I've buried dreams beneath the weight of pain,
Yet every sunrise whispered, "Stand again."
The roads were rough, the winds were cold,
Some chapters hurt more than they're ever told.
I lost pieces of myself along the way,
But somehow found the strength to face another day.
Pre-Chorus
Every scar upon my skin,
Every battle fought within,
Is a page of who I am—
Not defeated, but remade.
Chorus
These scars still shine beneath the light,
Proof I survived the darkest night.
I've cried rivers no one knew,
Still I found my way back through.
Though I've lost more than I've won,
I still rise with every sun.
This is my story, this is my song—
I bent with the storm, but I stayed strong.
Verse 2
People came and people left,
Some took my peace, some stole my breath.
Promises faded like footprints in the sand,
But hope kept reaching out its hand.
I carried burdens far too wide,
With silent tears I learned to hide.
Yet through every heartbreak, every fall,
God's quiet voice kept calling after all.
Bridge
I'm not the pain that tried to break me.
I'm not the tears that filled my eyes.
I'm every prayer that heaven answered,
Every time I chose to rise.
If tomorrow brings another storm,
I'll face it just like those before.
Because my soul has learned one truth—
Broken hearts can still endure.
Final Chorus
These scars still shine beneath the light,
They're stars that guided me through the night.
Every loss became a lesson,
Every wound became a blessing.
I may carry yesterday,
But it will never steal today.
This is my story, this is my name,
I walked through fire and I'm still the same.
Outro
So if you ask me who I am,
I'm every tear, every prayer, every dream.
I'm the woman who refused to quit.
My scars are not my ending...
They're the reason I still sing.
