This Is Me

I am not a stranger to the darkHide away, they say'Cause we don't want your broken partsI've learned to be ashamed of all my scarsRun away, they sayNo one'll love you as you are

But I won't let them break me down to dustI know that there's a place for usFor we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me downI'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them outI am brave, I am bruisedI am who I'm meant to be, this is meLook out 'cause here I comeAnd I'm marching on to the beat I drumI'm not scared to be seenI make no apologies, this is me

Oh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh

Another round of bullets hits my skinWell, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink inWe are bursting through the barricades andReaching for the sun (we are warriors)Yeah, that's what we've become (yeah, that's what we've become)

I won't let them break me down to dustI know that there's a place for usFor we are glorious

When the sharpest words wanna cut me downI'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them outI am brave, I am bruisedI am who I'm meant to be, this is meLook out 'cause here I comeAnd I'm marching on to the beat I drumI'm not scared to be seenI make no apologies, this is me

Oh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh-ohOh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, ohThis is me

And I know that I deserve your love(Oh-oh-oh-oh) 'cause 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 downI'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them outThis is brave, this is proofThis 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 IDrum (marching on, marching, marching on)I'm not scared to be seenI make no apologies, this is me
