[Intro]
Oh, I walk through shadows, scars from my past
A sinner's tale, built to last
[Verse 1]
Born in the darkness where hopes decay
A life of trouble, I lost my way
Every broken alley, every whispered crime
Built a hardened heart, forged in time
[Pre-Chorus]
But then the light broke through my walls
A brand new chance, a call
Saved by grace, yet I remain the same
The scars still whisper my name
[Chorus]
I'm a hardened man, saved but scarred
Walking this line, playing my part
Love touched my soul, but didn't break the mold
A sinner's fire, still burning bold
[Verse 2]
Lessons carved deep, pain my old friend
Fighting my demons, trying to mend
The chains of my past, they linger and sway
But I stand tall, I won't decay
[Pre-Chorus]
He lifted me up, showed me the way
Yet the shadows don't fade away
A new beginning, but still I stand
A hardened soul, a forgiven man
[Chorus]
I'm a hardened man, saved but scarred
Walking this line, playing my part
Love touched my soul, but didn't break the mold
A sinner's fire, still burning bold
[Bridge]
It's a war within, my pride and grace
Chasing salvation, a slow embrace
The scars remind me of where I've been
A soul reborn, but still within
[Outro]
Hardened but redeemed, I carry my stain
A sinner's heart, enduring pain
Saved by love, but still I stand
A hardened man, with a merciful hand
