    This is me
    By: Keala Settle

    When the sharpest words wanna cut me down


    I am not a stranger to the dark I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
    Hide away, they say I am brave, I am bruised
    'Cause we don't want your broken parts I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
    I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars Look out 'cause here I come
    Run away, they say And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
    No one'll love you as you are I'm not scared to be seen
    I make no apologies, this is me
    But I won't let them break me down to dust
    I know that there's a place for us Oh-oh-oh-oh
    For we are glorious Oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh-oh
    When the sharpest words wanna cut me down 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
    I am brave, I am bruised This is me
    I am who I'm meant to be, this is me
    Look out 'cause here I come and I know that I deserve your love
    And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (Oh-oh-oh-oh) 'cause there's nothing I'm not
    I'm not scared to be seen worthy of
    I make no apologies, this is me (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)
    When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
    Oh-oh-oh-oh I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
    Oh-oh-oh-oh This is brave, this is proof
    Oh-oh-oh-oh This is who I'm meant to be, this is me
    Oh-oh-oh-oh
    Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh Look out 'cause here I come (look out 'cause
    here I come)
    Another round of bullets hits my skin And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
    Well, fire away 'cause today, I won't let the (marching on, marching, marching on)
    shame sink in I'm not scared to be seen
    We are bursting through the barricades and I make no apologies, this is me
    Reaching for the sun (we are warriors)
    Yeah, that's what we've become (yeah, that's When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
    what we've become) I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
    I'm gonna send a flood
    I won't let them break me down to dust Gonna drown them out
    I know that there's a place for us Oh
    For we are glorious This is me
