Decorate Your Scars

I don't want you to jump
 I want you to fly
 When the crowd's closing in
 Let them turn into wind
 That'll lift you to sky
 I don't want you scream
 I want you to sing
 And when the sun will not burn
 Hear it whisper, your turn
 And your voice will go ringing into light
 Where Heaven's been waiting for you to ignite
 Go, go and decorate your scars, love
 Let your tears become stars, love
 They'll wash away the night
 In your diary you pray
 Let the voices go still
 But when you give them heed
 Maybe hear what they need
 Silently, they're fulfilled
 And to the mirror you say
 I'm not at home in my skin
 But we'll paint 'round your eyes
 On your neck and your thighs
 'Til the outside begins to feel alright
 A blanket to wrap 'round you warm and tight
 Go, go and decorate your scars, love
 Let your tears become stars, love
 They'll wash away the night
 ♪
 And every time the story ends
 The pages cycle through again
 For every step along the way
 Another footprint's life begins
 And here and there and now and then
 The sound will echo a long amen
 And every time the story ends
 The pages cycle through again
 I don't want you to push
 I want you to move Earth
 When you're put on the spot
 When you're told all you're not
 Then all that you're worth comes into sight
 Where absence is presence and black begets white
 Go, go and decorate your scars, love
 Let your tears become stars, love
 They'll wash away the night
 Go, go and decorate your scars, love
 Let your tears become stars, love
 They'll wash away the night
