This is me

When I heard this on Graham Norton a few weeks ago, I knew it would be one of my favorite moments at this year's Oscars. The theme song from The Greatest Showman.



I hope you like it, too. Here are the lyrics:

I'm 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

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 proof
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)

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 reach above 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
Gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I am brave, I am proof
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)

This is me (Oh oh oh oh)
And I know that I deserve your love (Oh oh oh oh)
'Cause there's nothing I'm not worthy of
(Oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh, oh)

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
This is brave, this is proofed
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 on)
I'm not scared to be seen
I make no apologies, this is me

Whenever the fire's gone, whenever the fire's gone
And I'm marching on
Oh oh oh, this is me
