This Is Me
The Greatest Showman (Keala Settle)
I absolutely love the Greatest Showman and This Is Me is one of my favorite songs from the soundtrack. I absolutely love the message on how everyone is different and you are perfect and you shouldn’t be ashamed. I definitely could have used this when I was a kid growing up as a double amputee. The video is from YouTube and I got the lyrics from google.
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
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
But I won’t let them break me down to dust
I know that there’s a place for us
For we are glorious
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
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
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
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh, 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…
Well, fire away ’cause today, I won’t let the shame sink in
We are…
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)

Gonna drown them out

I LOVE THIS SONG! I saw this film in theaters earlier this year and I was simply blown away. The soundtrack is great and the story was wonderful. Ugh…I miss being in musicals…great song choice!

Yeah I bought the dvd of it so I could watch it whenever I wanted as many times as I wanted. I also bought the soundtrack and I listen to the songs every once and a while on YouTube while I’m browsing.

I definitely have played the Greatest Showman playlist on YouTube every once in a while ha-ha. I don’t have a DVD player or anything that plays DVDs, but I want to get a PS4 so I’ll most likely start buying some films then. This will definitely be high on the list!

I play them on my computer but it’s getting to where it doesn’t want to play the dvd sometimes so I might not be watching anything for a while.
