Copyright 2008 Lisa Nicole Grace. This is a song I wrote about my life long journey with scoliosis - curvature of the spine. This November marks my 8 year anniversary of my spinal fusion surgery. ~LYRICS~ This scar, tells a story And it always reminds me Of where I've been This scar, runs from the nape of my neck Down to the small of my back And it's part of who I am After nine long hours Of blood, sweat and tears My mama and my daddy And a hundred prayers, I'm standing here I'm standing here With this scar, That represents my life A good old fashioned fight A willingness to survive This scar, Says it's okay to be scared As long as you're prepared To learn how strong you are This scar This scar, taught me a lesson That I won't be forgetting Anytime soon This scar, is turning eight years old But it seems so long ago That I was counting down the days to Nine long hours Of blood, sweat and tears My mama and my daddy And a hundred prayers, I'm standing here I'm standing here With this scar That represents my life A good old fashioned fight The willingness to survive This scar, Says it's okay to be scared As long as you're prepared To learn how strong you are This scar ~ piano solo~ (Brent Schaitel) After nine long hours Of blood, sweat and tears My family and my friends And five hundred prayers I'm standing here I'm standing here With this scar, That represents my life A good old fashioned fight The willingness to survive This scar Says it's okay to be scared It's okay if you're scared But be prepared For this scar, To represent your life A good old fashioned fight The willingness to survive This scar Says it's okay to be scared As long as you're prepared To learn how strong you are This scar This scar This scar This scar
