Fading Scars
lyrics by Shayna Shaw
music by Matt Glickstein

Along the pathway of life, she will encounter immense pain
And numerous attempts to suppress her tears of a soundless rain
Will it ever end or will it continue everyday?
The broken record of negative criticism sent along her way

She was torn to pieces and led completely astray
Away from any chance of hope for a new day
Helpless and lost, she lay bleeding and broken
The damage was done, the words had been spoken

Down into her soul, cutting deep as a knife
Internally scarring her for the rest of her life

Regardless of the treacherous past her life had used to be
The streets of gold and angel wings are all she will see
Imagine all the scars that are easy to come by
Imagine all the stars that illuminate an evening sky

We see each star as a blessing that lights and guides our way
Just as we would see the obstacles we face each day
To brighten the way to the gates of Heaven looming afar
We see each fading scar she bore has turned into a shining star
