Love Your Scars - a Holly On The Island Original Song

If I could get beneath your skin I'd see how deep the wounds have been
Instead I see how you react, in lashing out or holding back
you make a choice, I hope you know
to keep them fresh or let them go
Don't hold on to your wounds but love your scars
wounds continue wounding but that's not who you are
scars help you remember that you've come so far
don't hold on to your wound, love your scars
Every cruelty leaves a weal, forgive don't forget they're real
bind your wounds and let them heal, over time they'll turn to steal
those you allow can see and feel
the beauty that your scars reveal
