   I am not a stranger to the dark

Hide away, they say 'cause we don't want your broken parts
     Am                       G   C
I've learned to be ashamed of all my scars
      F         Am             G/B
Run away, they say, no one'll love you as you are, but

For we are glorious

Chorus 1

           F                      G                 N.C.
I am brave, I am bruised, I am who I'm meant to be, this is me

And I'm marching on to the beat I drum
              F                     G           N.C.
I'm not scared to be seen, I make no apologies, this is me

Another round of bullets hits my skin
            F            Am           G/B
Well fire away 'cause today, I won't let the shame sink in
       Am                         G        C
We are bursting through the barricades and
                             F    Am           G/B
Reaching for the sun (we are warriors), yeah, that's what we'll become

   I know that there's a place for us
               G/B
For we are glorious
