Lyrics

[Verse 1: Matthijn Buwalda & Karin Bloemen] 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 will love you as you are" [Pre-Chorus: Matthijn Buwalda, Karin Bloemen & Matthijn Buwalda] But I won't let them break me down to dust I know that there's a place for us For we are glorious [Chorus: Matthijn Buwalda, Karin Bloemen, Karin Bloemen & Matthijn Buwalda] 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 Watch out 'cause here I come (Oh) I'm marchin' on to the beat I drum I'm not scared to be seen I make no apologies, this is me [Post-Chorus: Karin Bloemen & Matthijn Buwalda] (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) [Verse 2: Matthijn Buwalda, Karin Bloemen, Karin Bloemen & Matthijn Buwalda] Another round of bullets hits my skin Well, fire away 'cause today I won't let the shame sink in We are burstin' through the barricades Reachin' for the stars, we are warriors Yeah, that's what we've become [Pre-Chorus: Karin Bloemen & Matthijn Buwalda] I won't let them break me down to dust I know that there's a place for us For we are glorious [Chorus: Matthijn Buwalda, Karin Bloemen, Karin Bloemen & Matthijn Buwalda] When the sharpest words wanna cut me down (Hey, hey, hey, hey) 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 (Look out 'cause here I come) And I'm marchin' on to the beat I drum (I'm marchin' on to the beat I drum) I'm not scared to be seen I make no apologies, this is me [Post-Chorus: Karin Bloemen & Matthijn Buwalda] (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) [Bridge: Karin Bloemen & Matthijn Buwalda, Karin Bloemen] (Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh) Everybody sing along with 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) [Chorus: Matthijn Buwalda, Karin Bloemen, Karin Bloemen & Matthijn Buwalda] So 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 (You better look) And I'm marchin' on to the beat I drum (Oh) I'm not scared to be seen I make no apologies, this is me [Post-Chorus: Karin Bloemen & Matthijn Buwalda] (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
