This Is Me

I'm 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 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

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

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 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

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 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

Whenever the world's gone

Whenever the world's gone

Whenever the world's gone

In the depths of my heart

Oh oh oh this is me
