Scar The Surface - A Strength That Overcomes lyrics

As a young boy I learnt That life was not what it seemed I saw the truth of human nature And did what I need to survive It all started one Sunday When I was only five My innocence was taken from me Fear never got the best of me Blind eyes, blame and your judgment Primary school was a constant battle Fight or hide I knew that I could never back down Or I’d lose my self-respect I never gave up, they never gave in And my battles weren’t won But it only made me stronger And I thought my wars were done Reflecting On what I could have been Remember I found the strength in me So I’m reflecting (It changed my life) On what I have ignored (It changed me forever) But can I finally put out the fires of hate? It changed my life It changed me forever It changed my life It changed me forever I constantly used them when they thought they had used me And I never tried to impress Their hypocrisy fuelled the hate in me But I could see through their masks Reflecting On what I have ignored But can I finally put out the fires of hate? Reflecting On what I could have been Remember I found the strength in me So I’m reflecting (It changed my life) On what I have ignored (It changed me forever) But can I finally put out the fires of hate? It’s not an easy thing (It changed me forever) To walk the path I’ve walked (It changed my life) But can I let go of the pieces that I’ve kept? It changed my life!
