Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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"
[Verse 2]
But I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us, for we are glorious
[Verse 3]
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em 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 marchin' on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen, I make no apologies, this is me
[Verse 4]
(This is me)
[Verse 5]
Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well fire away, 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in
We are burstin' through the barricades and reachin' for the sun
(We are warriors) Yeah, that's what we've become
[Verse 6]
I won't let them break me down to dust
I know that there's a place for us, for we are glorious
[Verse 7]
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em 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 marchin' on to the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen, I make no apologies, this is me
[Verse 8]
(This is me)
[Verse 9]
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em 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 marchin' on to the beat I drum
(Marchin' on, marchin' on, and on, and on)
I'm not scared to be seen, I make no apologies, this is me
[Verse 10]
(When the sharpest words wanna cut me down)
(I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown 'em out)
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
Oh, oh (This is me)
