Scars Tell Stories –

(Light rain sound, soft guitar strums)

Yeah… every mark, every line…

It’s proof I’m still standing.

Scars don’t make me weak… they make me real.

[Verse 1] (Low keys, gentle kick drum)

I walked through nights with no moon in the sky,

Tears in my eyes, I still learned how to fly,

Lost some battles, but I’m still in the war,

What I carry inside, they don’t see anymore.

People see the smile, they don’t feel the weight,

They don’t know the pain I had to navigate,

But every wound healed, even slow, still strong,

Turned my cries into verses, now I’m singing my song.

[Pre-Chorus] (Shaker and light congas join)

And I know… every cut, every burn,

Is a lesson, is a turn,

To the man I’m meant to be,

Ain’t no shame in my history.

[Chorus] (Full beat drops – Afro-perc, bass, guitar)

Every scar on my skin, it’s a chapter I win,

Through the fire and rain, I’m still here again,

They don’t see where I’ve been, but my scars tell the truth,

Every story’s a proof, yeah, my scars tell stories too.

[Verse 2] (Add backup humming vocals)

I bled for the dreams that I carry today,

Had to fight through the dark, had to carve my own way,

And the pain in my chest taught me how to be kind,

‘Cause the ones who been hurt know the value of time.

Life ain’t perfect, but it’s mine to live,

And every loss I took was a gift to give,

‘Cause my scars… they speak louder than fear,

Every line is a map of the roads I’ve steered.

[Bridge] (Beat cuts down – only keys & clap)

Ooooh… these scars are my crown,

I wear ‘em with pride, I don’t hide ‘em now,

Every time I fell, I got up somehow,

And I’m stronger than I was before… yeah.

[Final Chorus] (Beat builds to full with choir backing)

Every scar on my skin, it’s a chapter I win,

Through the fire and rain, I’m still here again,

They don’t see where I’ve been, but my scars tell the truth,

Every story’s a proof, yeah, my scars tell stories too.

Yeah…

Scars ain’t shame… they’re survival.

My story’s not over.
