If scars could speak

If scars could speak
I wonder what they’d say
Maybe tell you of hurts
Maybe tell you of pain

Some scars we can see
Visible to the naked eye
Others are kept inside
Only known to you and I

But this one guy
Way back when
Was covered with scars
Both inside and out

He was beaten beyond recognition
He carried so much pain with him
But if it wasn’t for what he had done
Then none of us would be around

If his scars could speak
They could tell a story
A story of triumph and pain
That is still prevalent today

A story about a man
Who cared so much
That he layed down his life
For us to have life
