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
 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
 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
 This is me
 Oh-oh-oh-oh
 And I know that I deserve your love
 Oh-oh-oh-oh
 There's nothing I'm not worthy of
 Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh
 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
