The Greatest Showman Song Lyrics

This Is Me By Keala Settle

[Verse 1: Lettie Lutz]

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"

[Pre-Chorus: Lettie Lutz]

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: Lettie Lutz]

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

[Post-Chorus: Ensemble]

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: Lettie Lutz, Ensemble]

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've become

(Yeah, that's what we've become)

[Pre-Chorus: Lettie Lutz and Ensemble]

Won't let them break me down to dust

I know that there's a place for us

For we are glorious

[Chorus: Lettie Lutz and Ensemble]

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

[Post-Chorus: Lettie Lutz and Ensemble, Ensemble]

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

[Bridge: Lettie Lutz, Ensemble]

(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-oh, oh, oh

[Pre-Chorus: Lettie Lutz]

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out

This is brave, this is bruised

This is who I'm meant to be, this is me

[Chorus: Lettie Lutz, Ensemble, Both]

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, marching on)

I'm not scared to be seen

I make no apologies, this is me

[Outro: Lettie Lutz, Ensemble, Both]

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out

(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out

(Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh)

This is me.
