This Is Me (american Idol Performance) Lyrics - Mara Justine

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 

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 (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 

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down 

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out 

This is brave, this is proof 

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 

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down 

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out 

I'm gonna send a flood 

Gonna drown them out 

Oh 

This is me
