This Is Me

By Selah

Lyrics

I'm 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 will 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


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


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 (here I come)

And I'm marching on to the beat I drum (marching on)

I'm not scared to be seen

I make no apologies, this is me


This is me


And I know that I deserve your love

Just nothing I'm not worthy of


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 (I'm 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)

(I'll send the flood to drown them out)

I'm gonna send the flood, I'm gonna drown them out, yeah

This is me
