Tattoos of Life
Embracing Life's Imprints: Tales in Skin
Lyrics
When you've hitched every highway
After experiencing various journeys and paths in life
And rode all the rails
Having traveled extensively
You're no longer afraid of the dark
Not being fearful of difficult times or challenges
You get tougher than leather and harder than nails
Becoming emotionally resilient and toughened
When you've earned all the scars on your heart
Having endured emotional wounds and hardships
Hobos and heroes, bankers and bums
People from various backgrounds
In some ways we're all the same
Despite differences, we share similarities
We all have to pay for the deeds that we've done
Consequences for our actions catch up with us
And wind up just dragging those chains
Carrying the burdens of past mistakes
Life paints a picture that time can't erase
Life creates memories that persist
And sometimes it cuts like a knife
Sometimes experiences hurt deeply
Sooner or later one way or another
Eventually, everyone bears the marks of life's challenges
We all wear the tattoos of life
Symbolizing the lasting impacts of life's trials
The glory in living
True fulfillment lies in the journey itself
Is just running the race
Not about success or failure, but the experience
Not whether you win or you fail
Life's experiences shape one's character
The lines like a road map
Showing in the form of experiences reflected on one's face
Will show on your face
One's eyes reveal the story beyond words
And your eyes tell the rest of the tale
Life paints a picture that time can't erase
Life's memories endure, unaffected by time
And sometimes it cuts like a knife
Experiences can be painful and leave a lasting mark
Sooner or later one way or another
Eventually, everyone bears the marks of life's challenges
We all wear the tattoos of life
Symbolizing the lasting impacts of life's trials
The tattoos of life
Representing the indelible imprints of life's experiences
