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 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, gonna drown them out

I am brave, I am proof

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 reach above the sun (we are warriors)

Yeah, that's what we'll 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

Gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out

I am brave, I am proof

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



And I know that I deserve your love

There's nothing I'm not worthy of

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

I'm gonna send a 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 (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)

I'm gonna send a flood

Gonna drown them out

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh, this is me)
