Who here has seen the Greatest Showman? If you haven’t seen it then you must go and watch it! I love it! It’s such a good film about a man called Phineas Taylor Barnum who wants to make something of himself. He comes from a poor background, falls in love with a girl called Charity Hallett, who is from a rick background and so he tries to prove himself to her. They end up getting married and have 2 children. Mr Barnum gets the idea to create a circus showing people that it’s okay to be different.
Now one of the main songs which you may have heard of is: “This is me”. The lyrics to this song really resonate with me.
THIS IS ME:
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 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
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
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 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
…This is me
And I know that I deserve your love
There’s nothing I’m not worthy of
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
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
(Whenever the words wanna cut me down
I’ll send the flood to drown them out)
This is me
This is one of my go to power songs! What’s yours? I think it’s so important to listen to music and switch off. It can really help to lift you, to refocus and regroup!
