  • No, no
    Yeah I'm
    Just beepin' right now
    I gotta go
    Hey

    Had you on my mind
    Had a little time
    Know we kinda overdue
    Turnin' back the pages
    To our younger days, yeah
    I can still imagine you

    Boomin' like a thunder
    Chasin' life with wonder
    With fire that could light a room
    Bottom kinda fell out
    Waited for the rebound
    But you never made a move

    When life cuts so deep
    Try and remember

    You are not alone
    We've all been there
    Scars come with livin'
    You are not alone
    We've all been there (been there, been there, oh), oh
    So lift your head, lift your head
    Lift your head to where your help comes from
    Yeah, you, you're not alone
    We've all been there
    Scars come with livin'

    Life ain't got no sequel
    We all broken people
    The only road to found is lost
    Oversimplifyin'
    Ain't no shame in tryin'
    Passion never counts the cost

    Now you won't take my phone calls
    You won't text me back at all
    I just wanna see you
    I can't stand to see you gone
    Yesterday I missed you
    Yesterday I played your song
    I'm oversimplifyin', I'm oversimplifyin'

    But try and remember

    You are not alone
    We've all been there
    Scars come with livin'
    You are not alone
    We've all been there (been there, been there, oh), oh
    So lift your head, lift your head
    Lift your head to where your help comes from
    Yeah, you, you're not alone
    We've all been there
    Scars come with livin'

    (Scars come, scars come, oh, scars come
    Oh, scars come with livin'
    Scars come, scars come, oh, scars come
    Oh, scars come with livin')

    It doesn't matter who you are
    This world gon' leave some battle scars
    It doesn't matter who you are
    This world gon' leave some battle scars
    It doesn't matter who you are
    This world gon' leave some battle scars
    It doesn't matter who you are
    This world gon' leave some battle scars

    You, you're not alone
    We've all been there
    Scars come with livin'
    You, you're not alone, you're not alone
    So lift your head up
    To where your help comes from
    Lift your head up
    Oh, scars come with livin'
    Lift your head up
    To where your help comes from
    Lift your head up
    Oh, scars come with livin', (lift your head up)

    It doesn't matter who you are
    This world gon' leave some battle scars
    It doesn't matter who you are
    This world gon' leave some battle scars
    It doesn't matter who you are
    This world gon' leave some battle scars Writer/s: Bryan Fowler, Cole Walowac, Toby McKeehan

  • HeykipWow surprised by comments projecting! I enjoy Tmac on the radio here in Las Vegas Nevada sos radio dot net ! Love music happy resurrection Sunday
  • Ryan from IndianaKay missed it completely
  • Easton from SchoolThis song is great
  • S. Hart from TexasWow. Saying all Christian songs should “talk about the greatness of God and leave the personal lyrics to the side” is like saying every sermon from a preacher should only talk about God’s greatness and never say anything else. We all need help in things we’re going through at various times in life, and we need to hear from others (and to tell each other) that we’re not alone, that we are not the only ones who have to deal with various struggles, and be encouraged by hearing that God has gotten others through various struggles and therefore we know He will get us through them as well.
  • Maddie ThomasChurch song
  • Extio from AlabamaHe clearly is talking important a heavy life things. And he says turn to God for them. How much more Christian can you possibly be than the trust God in everyday things? No this song is the pentacle of how to truly be a Christian, and if you think it's empty I think you're empty.
  • Jer from MnNGL Kay's comment upsets me.
  • Sarita from Sarasota Kay from New Mexico-your comment shows 2 things: 1. you do not know Toby personally
    2. You have a critical and judgmental spirit.
    Let me “Speak Truth” from someone who has known him for more than 20 years. His motivation is to bring glory to our Lord and Savior...period. He loves Jesus Christ first and foremost...he loves his family...he cares for those who work with him and he cares for his fans....thought you’d like to know this, Kay.
  • Lin from IndianaAs a Christian still growing in her faith, only 41 years old, but here's what's on the radio which is the free option for music I am grateful for artists like TobyMac. it is said in several websites this is a song written for his son in a few other folks he had in mind. The song is obviously telling the listener that you should turn to God. God is what lifts you up. There's the Christian aspect of the song! it gets old reading posts by people who are coming across as holier-than-thou because the Christian artist isn't Christian enough for them. I'm grateful this song is not about doing meth I'm grateful this song doesn't have the b word in it nor the n-word. I'm grateful this song isn't about physically hurting somebody or having sex with somebody you just met. I don't hear anything in this song that is going against the Christian faith. As a Christian I'm not supposed to judge other people hip. As a human I do it all the time even though I know it's a sin. As do others. The fact is this song is referring to going to God because that's our only way of surviving in this world, by turning to God for our help. I disagree that the song is completely empty and I am not going to judge him by saying this is not led by the holy spirit because that's my opinion, and I don't know how the Holy Spirit works all the time. I also want to point out there's nothing wrong with having lots of money while you live on this planet it's what you do with that money pretty sure TobyMac support some pretty good causes with his money not to mention he is one of the artists that comes around on the cheap shows that go through different towns every year. So you don't necessarily have to pay $60, $80, or $200 to see him perform. I hope if you hear this song and read the lyrics it lift your spirits as much as it does my own.
  • Kay from New MexicoThis song just like many others by Tobymac is completely empty. As a "Christian" singer, his songs should be led by the Holy Spirit and talk about the greatness of God. leave the personal lyrics to the side. There's already too much of that in the secular music. Personally I feel like Tobymac is more interested in fame than to seek the Kingdom of God. Just a quick reminder, earthly things are only temporary.
    God bless!
