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
