This Scar - Song

This song appeared on our group Facebook group this morning and as I thought Lisa had done a grand job in singing about her scoliosis I wanted to share it here too, you can watch the video below

The Lyrics
Copyright 2008 Lisa Nicole Grace.
Lisa says "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"

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
