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 '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 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 '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 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 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 'em 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 Whenever the words wanna cut me down (oh-oh-oh-oh) I'll send a flood to drown 'em out (oh, oh-oh, oh-oh) I'm gonna send a flood (oh-oh-oh-oh) Gonna drown them 'em out (oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh) Oh This is me
M Bolton the first time I heard this song I cried. I was in my early 20's now I'm 72 ( 5/14/2024 ) and i cried. There's just a sadness about this song that breaks my heart. 💔 I had read where you had s brain tumor. My prayer is you are mending from the surgery and the it was successful and that the cancer is gone. And sometime soon you will embrace us with another new song. I thought you were the most awesome most humble man filled with so much kindness. And the most handsome man. (Loved your long hair ) And 46 years later. I still see everything the same about you as i had way back then. Love you and enjoyed your singing you voice and all of your songs. You're just the man that can Rock This World 🌎!!!!💙💚
