lyrics

There were stories in my life
that I ain't proud to tell
When I was living in darker days
A forgotten soul in hell

Times when hope was out of sight
No meaning to it all
Darkness all around me
When I was meant to fall
Meant to fall

Then I learned what it takes to win
No matter how deep down I've ever been
Learned the hard way to stand up again

Seasons change and times go by
I keep on marching with my head up high
Not willing to live a life in pain

Those days they marked me like a bad tattoo
But they're a part of me like a bad tattoo

Now I see the reason why
We sometimes need to fall
'cause every time we rise again
We gain strength for standing tall

Getting older makes me realize
Unfinished business will return
Everything comes back to us
'til the lesson will be learned
Will be learned

Then I learned what it takes to win
No matter how deep down I've ever been
Learned the hard way to stand up again

Seasons change and times go by
I keep on marching with my head up high
Not willing to live a life in pain

Those lessons marked me like a bad tattoo
But they're a part of me like a bad tattoo

Seasons change and times go by
I keep on marching with my head up high
Not willing to live a life in pain

Those lessons marked me like a bad tattoo
But they're a part of me like a bad tattoo

They will mark me like a bad tattoo
And they're a part of me like a bad tattoo
