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

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

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

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 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

when the sharpest words wanna cut me down

i'm gonna send a flood

gonna drown them out

i'm gonna send a flood

gonna drown them out
