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 No one'll love you as you are But I won't let them break me down to dust 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, gonna 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 Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh 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 warriors!) Yeah, that's what we've become (Yeah, that's what we've become) Won't let them break me down to dust 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, gonna 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 Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh This is me Oh-oh-oh-oh And I know that I deserve your love Oh-oh-oh-oh There's nothing I'm not worthy of 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, gonna drown them out This is brave, this is bruised This is who I'm meant to be, this is me Look out 'cause here I come Look out 'cause here I come And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (Marching on, marching, marching on) I'm not scared to be seen I make no apologies, this is me Oh-oh-oh-oh (When the sharpest words wanna break me down) (I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out) I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh This is me
