Bigger Than The Scars

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some roads are broken from the start No hand to hold, no steady heart When the world don't give you much You learn to stand on your own touch But somewhere deep a fire grew A woman strong was pushing through [Chorus] Bonnie Gale, oh Bonnie Gale Through the storm you never failed You kept a roof, you kept us warm You were the shelter in the storm And we forgive with open arms 'Cause love is bigger than the scars [Verse 2] You never knew your daddy's face Your mama left an empty space Adopted heart still learning how To give the love you needed now The bottles tried to numb the pain But still you worked through sun and rain Motels and nights without a light But mama you still held on tight [Chorus] Bonnie Gale, oh Bonnie Gale Through the storm you never failed You kept a roof, you kept us warm You were the shelter in the storm And we forgive with open arms 'Cause love is bigger than the scars [Bridge] It took a strong soul to walk away From Lester's hands and all that rage Now he's gone but you remain The backbone holding up our name [Verse 3] Cynthia and Barbara know the truth The hurt you carried since your youth But grandma now you fill those hands With gifts and love and second chances Pop just needs to make that call And you show up giving your all A heart so kind considering All the broken roads you've seen [Chorus] Bonnie Gale, oh Bonnie Gale Through the storm you never failed You kept a roof, you kept us warm You were the shelter in the storm And we forgive with open arms 'Cause love is bigger than the scars [Outro] You're our mother, you're our light Bonnie Gale, we hold you tight
