[Verse 1]
Got me wishin' God would show me the way
Show me Heaven maybe just for a day
I'm feeling something that I don't understand
Can you help me be a better man?

[Verse 2]
Mother, mother, can you show me the way?
Can you light a tunnel to light of day?
I'm sick of dealing with the problems at hand
Can you help me be a better man?

[Chorus]
There's no need to run and hide
(When the world leaves a scar)
There's no need to say goodbye
(When the world leaves a scar)
It's a painful thing to try, grit your teeth another timе
When the world leavеs a scar on you
(When the world leaves a scar)
(When the world leaves a scar)

[Verse 3]
Sister Lauren, don't you fade away
Sister Lauren, love you all the way
I'm feeling hopeful that you'll show a man
How to love someone as true as you can, yeah
[Verse 4]
Brother, brother, we speak day to day
You're a blueprint for a future that's paved
My wishful thinking might not go as we planned
But I'll help you be a better man

[Chorus]
There's no need to run and hide
(When the world leaves a scar)
There's no need to say goodbye
(When the world leaves a scar)
It's a painful thing to try, grit your teeth another time
When the world leaves a scar on you
(When the world leaves a scar)

[Bridge]
Break down the door, there's something more
Don't be afraid that in the end, you'll have nothing
Break down the door, there's something more
Don't be afraid that in the end, you'll have nothing
Break down the door, break down the door, ooh
Oh! Yeah

[Outro]
Mother, mother (Yeah)
Sister, sister (Oh! Yeah, ooh)
Brother, brother (Ooh!)
When the world leaves a scar on you
Mother, mother
When the world leaves a scar
Sister, sister
When the world leaves a scar on you
Brother, brother
When the world leaves a scar
When the world leaves a scar on you
