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
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.

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, because 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
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be
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.

And I know that I deserve your love
'Cause there's nothing I'm not worthy of.

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
This is brave, this is proof
This is 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
This is me.
