I am not a stranger to the dark
" Hideaway" they say
"' Cause we don't want your broken parts"
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
" Runaway" 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
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
We are warriors
Yeah that's what we've become
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
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- 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
Look out 'cause here I come
Look out 'cause here I come
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
Marching on marching marching on
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
