this is me

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
(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)
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)
When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I’m gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
(Oh-oh-oh-oh, 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

Well, it’s not hard to see
Anyone who looks at me
Knows I am just a rolling stone
Never landing anyplace to call my own
To call my own

Well, it seems like so long ago
But it really ain’t you know
I started off a crazy kid
Miracle I made it through the things I did
The things I did

Someday I’ll go where there ain’t no rain or snow
Till then, I travel alone
And I make my bed with the stars above my head
And dream of a place called home

I had a chance to settle down
Get a job and live in town
Work in some old factory
I never liked the foreman standing over me
Over me

Oh I’d rather walk a winding road
Rather know the things I know
See the world with my own eyes
No regrets, no looking back, no goodbyes
No goodbyes

Someday I’ll go where there ain’t no rain or snow
Till then, I travel alone
And I make my bed with the stars above my head
And I dream of a place called home

And someday I’ll go where there ain’t no rain or snow
Till then, I travel alone
And I make my bed with the stars above my head
And I dream of a place called home

Someday I’ll go where there ain’t no rain or snow
And dream of a place called home

Look at who the wind’s blowin’ up the road
Shining like the Northern Star
Actin’ like the answers to all my prayers
But, baby, I know what you really are

So don’t you knock on my door, I won’t be home anymore
You can find me out walking in the sun
Oh, you hide it so well, it isn’t easy to tell
But I know a heartache when I see one

There was a time, I was a true believer
Your love was the only way
Well, you can save all your sweet talkin’ for some other fool
Only a fool would believe what you say

So don’t you knock on my door, I won’t be home anymore
You can find me out walking in the sun
Oh, you hide it so well, it isn’t easy to tell
But I know a heartache when I see one

Time is a teacher, oh, and it’s taught me well
The loser is the one who cries
And when you’ve cried like a baby and you’ve hurt like Hell
You know the Devil by the look in his eyes

So don’t you knock on my door, I won’t be home anymore
You can find me out walking in the sun
Oh, you hide it so well, it isn’t easy to tell
But I know a heartache when I see one

No, don’t you knock on my door, I won’t be home anymore
You can find me out walking in the sun
Oh, you hide it so well, it isn’t easy to tell
But I know a heartache when I see one
I know a heartache when I see one
