This is Me
(optional solo) 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
Tutti: 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.
TB: Oh—--- Oh oh
SA: Oh —--- Oh oh
TB: Another round of bullets hits my skin
Well, fire away, ‘cause to day, I won’t let the shame sink in.
Tutti: We are bursting through the barricades and reaching for the sun,
We are warriors!
TB: Yeah, that’s what we’ve become!
SA: oooh
SA: Ev’ry night I lie in bed, the brightest colours fill my head
A million dreams are keepin’ me awake
Tutti: I think of what the world could be,
A vision of the one I see
A million dream is all it’s gonna take
TB: So, I won’t let them break me down to dust,
I know that there’s a place for us,
Tutti: 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.
TB: Oh—--- Oh oh
SA: Oh —--- Oh oh
continue Oh’s during solo:
And I know that I deserve love,
There’s nothing I’m not worthy of!
Tutti: 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.
Solo over top: They can say, they can say, it all sounds crazy
They can say, they can say I’ve lost my mind
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.
More solo over oh’s: Ev’ry night I lie in bed,
The brightest colours fill my head,
A million dreams are keepin’ me awake
I think of what the world could be,
A vision of the one I see,
A million dreams is all it’s gonna take
Tutti: A million dreams for the world we’re gonna make!
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh this is me!
