Standard-bearer, marching on with dignity,
Refusing to be denied and ignored
Always learned the hard way, a life of integrity
And respect is your reward
Walking against the wind, swimming against the tide
High upon your pedestal now, with nothing to hide
So wear it with pride
Wear your wounds as a badge of honor
Wear your scars as a badge of honor
All your wounds
All your scars
All your flaws
All your virtues
War
Windmill fights ending in frustration,
Uphill battles – that’s what everyone goes through
And in the end your aspirations,
Your victories and defeats – it’s all a part of you
Walking against the wind, swimming against the tide
High upon your pedestal now, with nothing to hide
So wear it with pride
Wear your wounds as a badge of honor
Wear your scars as a badge of honor
