This Is Me

This Is Me - Anthem Lights

Lyrics by：Justin Paul/Benj Pasek

Composed by：Justin Paul/Benj Pasek

I am not a stranger to the dark

"Hideaway" they say

"'Cause we don't want your broken parts"

I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars

"Runaway" 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

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

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

And I know that I deserve your love

Oh-oh-oh-oh

There's nothing I'm not worthy of

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 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-oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh oh

This is me
