This Is Me (From the Greatest Showman)

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

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
This is me (oh-oh-oh-oh)

And I know that I deserve your love (oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)
'Cause there's nothing I'm not worthy of (oh-oh-oh-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, 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 on (to the beat)
(I'm not scared to be seen)
I make no apologies, this is me

(Whenever the words wanna cut me down) whenever the words go
Whenever the words go
And I drown them out, oh, oh, oh (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
This is me
