I've got this little scar that left it's mark
Down underneath my chin
From when I fell off my bike back when
I was just a kid

And, oh, the pain and how I cried
And I still remember how it bled
I know I won't forget that time 
And what my daddy said

Don't cry, it'll get better
In time you'll soon forget it
You'll be fine right now, it hurts some
But the healing hasn't happened yet
The pain won't always be there
And someday after the fall 
Your scrapes and scratches will remind you
Of the hurt you left behind you and you'll see
That scars are beautiful

Each scar is living proof and they tell the truth
About places that you've been
They're all roadmaps to life's lessons made
By sacrifice and sin

And you can let them bring you down
Or you can hold your head up high
Don't let the chance you took to fall
Keep you from the chance you take to try

Don't cry, it'll get better
In time you'll soon forget it
You'll be fine right now, it hurts some
But the healing hasn't happened yet
The pain won't always be there
And someday after the fall 
Your scrapes and scratches will remind you
Of the hurt you left behind you and you'll see
That scars are beautiful
