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."
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.
(We are warriors.)
Yeah, that's what we've 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.
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.
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.
