This Is Me

I am 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'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
