[MUSIC - KEALA SETTLE, "THIS IS ME"]
[SINGING] I'm not a stranger to the dark.
Hide away, they say, because 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 want to cut me down,
I'm going to send a flood, going to 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.
Another round of bullets hits my skin, hey.
Well, fire away, oh, oh, 'cause today, oh, oh, I
won't let the shame sink in, hey, hey.
We are bursting through the barricades, whoa, whoa,
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, ah, ah, ah, break me down to dust.
I know that there's a place for us, ah, ah.
For we are glorious!
When the sharpest words want to cut me down,
hey, hey, hey, I'm going to send a flood,
going to drown them out, hey, hey.
I am brave.
I am bruised.
I am who I'm meant to be.
This is me.
Look out 'cause here I come, hey, hey, hey.
And I'm marching on to the beat I drum, hey, hey, hey.
I'm not scared to be seen.
I make no apologies.
This is me.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
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.
When the sharpest words want to cut me down,
I'm going to send a flood, going to 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.
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 want to cut me down, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
I send a flood to drown them out.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
I'm going to send a flood.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Going to drown them out!
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, yeah!
This is me!
