You walk for miles
But it's not enough
You do it for smiles
But you only get a scoff

How much farther
Do you have to go
To gain honor
And a face to show

Taking detours
Only make it worse
You lose your path
You forget your worth

How much farther
Do you have to go
To make your life fuller
And redeem your soul

No matter how far
They will never know
So just hide your scar
Don't let it show

They only see success
Some may not, but I digress
Just keep your smile
And go along for a while

Some day they'll see
That you've gone so far
And how ashamed they'll be
To know who you really are
