I think back to yesterday 
climbing trees out in the park 
and hearing papa once I fell 
say "that will leave a mark" 
life is full of times 
when we struggle in the dark 
hitting things and broken hearts 
that will leave a mark 
live your life the best you can 
make your bite worse than your bark 
leave it so when you are gone 
you know you left a mark 
playing sports, and racing cars 
doing things just for a lark 
back inside my head I hear 
that will leave a mark 
father always said play tough 
when it rains don't build an ark 
swim against the current son 
make sure you leave a mark 
live your life the best you can 
make your bite worse than your bark 
leave it so when you are gone 
you know you left a mark 
a scar that shows that you played hard 
in life or in the park 
always hear your father say 
that will leave a mark 
don't hide away from nothing 
remember you can be the shark 
when you do, do something 
that will leave a mark 
live your life the best you can 
make your bite worse than your bark 
leave it so when you are gone 
you know you left a mark
