Battlescarred - The Deweys Lyrics

Battlescarred

Verse One:

A stately old vessel...stands in the harbor
Bravely, she's fought...many battles at sea....
She's an example...of life and its struggles
Each battle scar stands for great victory....

The Chorus:

BATTLESCARRED, FROM THE STRUGGLE...
BATTLESCARRED FROM THE STRIFE....
BATTLESCARRED, FROM THE CONFLICTS....
WE'VE FACED IN THIS LIFE.....
OH, AND WHEN THE BATTLE'S OVER...
AND WE LAY OUR ARMOR DOWN....
WE'LL EXCHANGE THESE BATTLE SCARS
FOR A GLORIOUS CROWN.....

Verse Two:

Those silver haired Saints, who stand as pillars..
Graciously bearing, the marks of their days....
They've fought and they've conquered...by faith in God's Holy Word
Yes, They're battlescarred, and so weary, but still singing God's praise.

Repeat The Chorus:

BATTLESCARRED, FROM THE STRUGGLE...
BATTLESCARRED FROM THE STRIFE....
BATTLESCARRED, FROM THE CONFLICTS....
WE'VE FACED IN THIS LIFE.....
OH, AND WHEN THE BATTLE'S OVER...
AND WE LAY OUR ARMOR DOWN....
WE'LL EXCHANGE THESE BATTLE SCARS
FOR A GLORIOUS CROWN.....

Tag

Oh, and when the battle's over, and we lay our armor down....
We'll exchange these battlescars for a glorious crown!
