Scars (Come With Livin')

This deeply personal song finds TobyMac processing life as a Christian husband, father and artist. He addresses his firstborn son Truett, who had just turned 20 when TobyMac penned the tune. So lift your head, lift your head Lift your head to where your help comes from Yeah, you, you're not alone We've all been there Scars come with livin' TobyMac told Billboard he "had a few people in mind" when he wrote the song, but he started subconsciously focusing on his son, telling Truett that life can start throwing heavy things at times. "I wanted him to know that he's not alone when the world might get the best of him from time to time," he continued. "When he looks up and he's got some scars, I wanted him to know that we all face those things and that he's not alone in it."

Truett McKeehan passed away on October 25, 2019, about a year after the song was released. He was just 21 years old. TobyMac paid tribute to his late son as someone who had an "untameable grand personality and dreams to match"; this is similar to the way Truett is portrayed in this song's lyrics. Boomin' like a thunder Chasin' life with wonder With fire that could light a room
