Need To Move

Not everyone has a six inch triumph
Not everyone can touch the wound that caused the fight

Some only have wounds that others can't see
Wounds so deep, they never see the light

It is not true that time heals all wounds
Some are old but still hurt the same

I have scars on the inside and out
One fresh incision that still causes pain

I am proud of all of my scars
Because they have forced me to change

God sometimes needs us to move
But we refuse unless there is pain

So take all that is hard
And gather up all of the hurt

Use it as fuel and start your own fire
Hold your tongue just right and put in some work

For now this is your time
Don't let that pain go to waste

Tell your story in Jesus' name
And lean on His strength and grace
