This is Me

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
 "'Cause no one'll love you as you are" but
 I won't let them break me down to dust
 'Cause 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 to 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
 Mmmmm
 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 glorious
 Yeah, that's what we've become
 Won't let them break me down to dust
 'Cause 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 to drown 'em 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 yea
 Oh-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 to drown 'em out
 I'm brave and bruised
 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
 Look out 'cause here I come
 I'm marching on, marching, marching on
 No apologies this is me
