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 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

yeah that's what

we'll 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

I know that

I deserve your love

'cause there's nothing

I'm not worthy o...f

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

And I'm marching on

to the beat I drum

I'm not scared

to be seen

I make no apologies

this is me

Whenever

the world's gone

whenever

the world's gone

In the depth of my heart

woh, woh, woh this is me
