This is Me

I am not a stranger to the dark "Hide away," they say "'Cause we don't want your broken parts" I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars "Run away," they say "'Cause no one'll love you as you are" but I won't let them break me down to dust 'Cause I know that there's a place for us For we are glorious When the sharpest words wanna cut me down I'm gonna send a flood to drown them out I am brave I am bruised I am who I'm meant to be this is me Look out 'cause here I come And I'm marching on to the beat I drum I'm not scared to be seen I make no apologies this is me Mmmmm Another round of bullets hits my skin Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in We are bursting through the barricades And reaching for the sun We are glorious Yeah, that's what we've become Won't let them break me down to dust 'Cause I know that there's a place for us For we are glorious When the sharpest words wanna cut me down I'm gonna send a flood to drown 'em out I am brave, I am bruised I am who I'm meant to be, this is me Look out 'cause here I come And I'm marching on to the beat I drum I'm not scared to be seen I make no apologies, this is me yea Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh When the sharpest words wanna cut me down I'm gonna send a flood to drown 'em out I'm brave and bruised I'm who I'm meant to be, this is me Look out 'cause here I come And I'm marching on to the beat I drum I'm not scared to be seen I make no apologies, this is me Look out 'cause here I come I'm marching on, marching, marching on No apologies this is me
