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'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 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
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 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
This is me and I know that I deserve your love
Cause there's nothing I'n not worthy of
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send the 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 oh I'm gonna send a flood
Gonna drown them out oh this is
