This Is Me

I′m not a stranger to the dark
Hide away, they say
'Cause we don′t want your broken partsI've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
Run away, they say
No one will 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

Another round of bullets hits my skin
But 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

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
Gonna stand the 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

Whoa

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
Yeah this is brave, this is bruised
This is who I′m meant to be
This is me
Oh 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

Whoa

This is me
