i may never know why i had to face this pain but these scars let the world know that we re gonna stand again now i m walking through the ashes of the fire that took me down but didn t take me out it just made rise up i fought on now we made it we made it i m not afraid took me down but didn t take me out i m not afraid now we made it we made it sometimes my past plays tricks on my mind and i watch the tape rewinding man i got scars and try not to show too scared to go down that road but what if my healed wounds become signs of hope to a world that s about to give up some young kid about to take his life puts the knife down and stands up call me crazy call me crazy call me what you d like man if jesus died from me tryn to save my life i can never play it down even if they take me out i mma rise up a fighter and with him i m walking through the ashes of the fire that took me down but didn t take me out it just made rise up i fought on now we made it we made it  i m not afraid took me down but didn t take me out i m not afraid now we made it we made it i m falling hard in the dark dying to be free i saw your light illuminate every part of me i walk this road i m torn in two like i m weak i m strong i fight for my life hits me hard but i ll still live it up i m never letting go sometimes i be walking through it i m falling through it through the valley of the shadow of death i be sitting on the fence don t know if i m winning or sinning but i know i can t pretend so it s time to go i found my flow i wrote this song for the kids who were down alone and now i know every time i show these scars there s a reason that you ever found a hope this pain take this hurt and every time they drag my name through the dirt i know that he uses it all for a purpose so i m still out here putting in the work i know what it s like to be looking at a grave then you can t find the words you wanna break still i know he s holding my hand and giving me the strength to say i m not afraid i m not afraid took me down but didn t take me out i m not afraid now we made it we made it i m not afraid took me down but didn t take me out i m not afraid now we made it we made it i may never know why i had to face this pain but these scars let the world know that we re gonna stand again
