Marks of a painful past
Behind an illusion there was something good
Marks of a violated past
I lost my innocence, I gained suffering

I, I speak of the pain
That I felt so much
I speak of the marks
That I expose here

I opened my heart
For Christ to heal me
He reached out to me
And for me he went to war
He came on my behalf
He took me out of the darkness

Now I know what it is to live
Now I know what it is to live

Marks of a painful past
The pain I fed
Now has ceased
Marks of a violated past
I lost my innocence, I gained suffering

I, I speak of the pain
That I felt so much
I speak of the marks
That I expose here

I opened my heart
For Christ to heal me
He reached out to me
And for me he went to war
He came on my behalf
He took me out of the darkness

Now I know what it is to live
Now I know what it is to live

Far from illusion
Now I know what it is to live
Now I know what it is to live
Now I know what it is to live
Far from illusion of the marks of passion, marks
