about

A song about the courage to follow our inner voice. A song about the beauty of wrinkles and scars. A call to live our life.

Ein Song über den Mut, unserer inneren Stimme nach zu gehen. Ein Lied über die Schönheit von Falten und Narben. Ein Aufruf an uns, das Leben zu leben.

lyrics

Scratches

Every scratch on your body tells a story
Every mark, every dot and every line
A picture of yourself, moments left behind
A timeline of your life an’ you will find

The one you are, the one you’ll be, the one you don’t wanna see
The one you miss, the one you love the one you hide
We are born, babychild, into the wild
Pain is the price, we’ll be alright

And now become who you are, get your scratches
Throw yourself into it, go find your light
Be brave when you are earning your scratches
A little pain for trying something is alright


Every scratch on your body tells a story
Every mark, every dot and every line
In your face, on your hands, down your back, in your eyes
A story of a time that lies behind

Some times were yellow some times red
Dreams got real, some of them lead
To a dead end in your head
Days you couldn’t leave your bed

You’ll say Yes when you mean No
You’ll say Stop when you mean Go
You’ll do things, that are not right
Find yourself lying awake at night

And now become who you are, get your scratches
Throw yourself into it, go find your light
Be brave when you are earning your scratches
A little pain for trying something is alright
A little pain for trying something is alright
A little pain for trying something is alright
