Lyrics

I am not a stran ger to the dark

Hide a way,

they (Bm)say, ’cause we don’t (A)want your bro ken parts

I’ve (Bm)learned to be a shamed of all

my scars

Run a way,

they (Bm)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 glo ri (Asus)ous

When the (D)sharp est words wan na cut me down

I’m gon na (Bm7)send a flood, gon na 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 march in’ on to the beat I drum

I’m not scared to be seen I make no a pol o gies This is me (D)Oh

Oh

(Bm7)Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh,

oh, oh

An (Bm)oth er round of bul lets (A)hits my (D)skin

Well, fi re a way, ’cause to (Bm)day I won’t let the shame sink in

We are (Bm)burst in’ through the bar ri cades and (D)reach in’ for the sun We are (G)war ri ors Yeah, that’s what we’ve be come

oh, oh This is me (D)Oh

Oh

(Bm7)Oh

Oh

Oh

Oh,

oh, oh This is me
