I just heard this one Womans Hour, and she's right we all have scars and imperfections whether physical or psychological.

SCARS

Don't be ashamed
Everybody's got scars
From our various wars
On the way to the stars

Don't try to hide
Everybody's got scars
From crashlanding on mars
With these egos of ours

Theres the one on your knee
Where you fell off your bike
Or the bite from a babe
that you love but don't like
Theres the mess that you made
without counting the cost
Or the cut from a blade
Or the child that you lost

Don't be ashamed
If your covered with scars
On this planet of ours
Thats the way we keep scores
So I'll show you my scars
If you show me yours

In the streets and the bars
Everybody's got scars
On their way to the stars
Everybody's got scars
