"This Is Me" from "The Greatest Showman"
solo
I'm not a stranger to the dark
Hide away, they say
'Cause we don't need
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
all
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.

group 1 & 2: 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'll 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
And I'm marching on
To the beat I drum
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies
This is me.

repeat with solo
solo (over group 1 and 2)
...And I know that I deserve your love
...There's nothing I'm not worthy of
solo alone (quieter)
When the sharpest words
Wanna cut me down.
I'm gonna send a flood
Gonna drown me out.
I am brave, I am bruised
I am who I'm meant to be
This is me.
