The faces of some persons have a lot of character because they have lines etched on them, lines that went deeper with every sorrow. Some scars and wounds actually are records of losses, accidents and grief.
As I contemplated my life and where I am today, I realised that my face has lines and scars too due to enduring personal trauma for decades. The stress I suffered led to early aging which began in my twenties and turned almost all my hair grey.
Song: The Scars on My Face Tell a Story
Chorus:
Yes the scars on my face, they tell a story,
And I won't run away from my history,
I own my story, I own myself. - 2
1. I faced the lies
I faced the flak
I bore the brunt
I lived in lack.
Nobody cared
Nobody knows
This soul endured
So many blows. Chorus
2. That broken child
With broken dreams
Who spent the night
With silent screams.
She lived to tell
That she is alive
That she has grown
Into her own. Chorus
3. No, no one can
Ever take my place
No, no one can
Ever break me down
I've left behind
My broken past
And all the people
Who crushed my heart. Chorus
4. I see ahead
Before me lies
A brand new chapter
A brand new life
My risen Lord
He too had died
And rose again
To give me life. Chorus
