I am not a stranger to the dark

Hide away, they say. Cause we don't want you

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, I'm

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!

O-o-oh

O-o-oh

O-o-oh

O-o-oh (o-o-oh)

Oh ay oh, oh ay oh

Oh ay oh, oh ay 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!

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 I'm gonna drown 'em out

I am brave!

I am bruised!

that I'm 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!

O-o-oh

O-o-oh

O-o-oh

(o-o-oh)

Oh ay oh, oh ay oh

Oh ay oh, oh, oh

This is me!

O-o-oh

And I know that I deserve your love

(o-o-oh)

'Cause there's nothing I'm not worthy of

(oh ay oh, oh, oh)

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

I'm gonna send a flood, I'm 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!

And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (marching on, marching on)

I'm not scared to be seen

I make no apologies

This is me!

Whenever the words gonna- (I'll send a flood)

(o-o-oh) Whenever the words gonna- ohhh!

(o-o-ohh!)

I'm gonna drown 'em out (oh ay oh)

Oh oh oh! This is me!
