Peter Hollens - This Is Me Lyrics

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

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

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 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)

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

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

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 proof
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

When the sharpest words wanna cut me down
I'm gonna send a flood, gonna drown them out
I'm gonna send a flood
Gonna drown them out
Oh
This is me

Amazing depth and range to your voice! The way you involve your fans is absolutely phenomenal!

Does Bayli baker have a new Instagram username? I love her choreography and would love to follow her but the link says its broken.

Thank you for doing this song it means a lot to me Peter one of my favorite movies still is the greatest showman wonderful rendition I love it

preach it ! brother

SPECTACULAR!!! <3

This song should be dedicated to all of the premature infants (like myself) who have fought just to survive. PS I was a 24 weeker when I was born, now going on to my 23rd b day.

Wonderful and beautiful

This song really comforted me during my depressive episodes due to being LGBTQ+ in a country where being LGBTQ+ can get you thrown into jail for years. I'm glad Peter decided to cover this song. :)

I like iT so much!!

Long time fan, but this song brought tears and shivers to me. Peter, you are a marvelous soul and phenomenal artist!

Best cure for depression...




This AMAZING video

This gave me goosebumps and made me tear up.

OMG, those were American eskimo dogs (not pomeranians)probably at a dog show!!! I'm so proud! This (and mals) are my heart breed, and they arnt too well known, either! Go Eskies!!

I can only imagine

Im probably really far behind but OMG! Your son is absolutely adorable!

This is so great the song I have this year on 25.06.019 my friend on the song made a marriage proposal with Flashmob

SO Great Mega i Love You WOW #This is Me

This is so beautiful!!

Amazing!

You have an amazing voice, Peter and by performing this song with all your friends--it gives a deeper meaning to the lyrics.
Well done,
Darryl

Zack and Kettle duet would be beatiful

This actually made me cry

Love this!

Here is a video of my ocs singing your version of this is me

Are you guy from lalaLand????

Thank you for making this 😇🖤.

STEP UP DANCERS!!!

Adorable Ending! Priceless... You have a whole fan base that will be there for your family and follow you as long as you will let them in your lives. That's very rare but the qualities your family exudes are very special and people are blessed to be a part of that.

#thisisme

Great video Peter. Sounds great. Would LOVE to see a little more diversity amongst the ranks. All shapes and colors. THAT would be beautiful!

This is awesome! I am a warrior with MG and MS! I play this song when I feel abandoned, sad at losing a warrior sister or when I feel I just can't fight anymore! Your version will be my new anthem as I battle daily. Thank you for making this video so much! You never know when you touch the very soul of someone...you did with me!

Las Vegas. And it was brilliant Peter.

Cool.i am from Germany. I tottaly agree with you

Such a phenominal voice!

i like your wife version, but i like yours version most. hehehe

One word: Ah-mazing!

Earlimart, CA

Such a beautiful rendition and your kid is totally adorable 😍

Loved it! Simply fantastic!! 😘😘😍😍

Damn it Peter, your song always make me cry, thank you for your work

Why won't the tears stop???

素晴らしい、感動した😃

Had chills and brought a tear to my eyes...the song, the voices, seeing everyone involved...<3

Love, love, love this video. Also loved your Patreon Party concert in Salem; so much fun to see you in person. Two suggestions: Ed Sheerin's "Perfect" and "The Voice" (by Celtic Women). You are "The Voice"!!

Good voice but no heart in this song just sounds like he is going through the motions

It made me cry.. dunno why

Bless you for getting your talented patrons involved. This was such a rush to watch and listen to!

You're big!! You're the greatest maker of covers I have ever seen. Love fom Spain

I was depressed. I was tired. Now i am also crying damnit this is beautiful

Amooo Peter hollens

This cover of this song helped save my life after a suicide attempt. It helped me accept that I had depression/mental health concerns and helped me find my way back. Thank you for making this.

I'm glad you're alive

For me I had a suicide threat, a whole plan and everything

Praying for you

Lift your head up and celebrate because your still alive, your still breathing, your still living and still facing life.

Over a year later, and this video still brings tears to my eyes.

This IS THE REAL ME

The girl to the right of Peter in the slow part has so much emotion in her moves, it's amazing

Your son is a gem

What a brilliantly talented guy you are, I especially love the Lord of the rings and Hobbit songs, I would love to hear you do something by the late Clifford T. Ward, maybe "A day to myself" or "Someone I know"

#ThisIsMe 💖💚💙

I wish you had her passion an it's a shame you don't

Beautiful 👏🏻👏🏻

LOL! Can't tell if he's really in that room with the dancers or if he edited himself into that room lol

How does one get into a video like this

Normal people (+Me): Aww, this is so inspiring, love you Peter!
Me: Alright, who counted the 500+ people?
My friend: *slaps me* Just watch it!


(Edit) Also, I love your work, you deserve so many things! Awards, good luck, more awards and so much more!! <3 <3

Seeing all these people coming together was truly inspirational. Thank you everyone who was a part of this video!

Your sun is cutt

You are a good singer

Peter ... I don't know if you will ever even read this. I don't know who blessed soul wrote this song. But the deal is that you put so much feeling and strength to everything you do that is just draw out whatever poison feelings a person might be experiencing at the time. I'm awear you know that your voice is marvelous and the passion for what you do shows thought your work. I just am not sure if you know the actual difference you make when you sing the message the author of those songs mean to send. Sr. please accept my humble gratitude, admiration and congratulations for a legacy that will not be forgotten.

Great work Peter. Been a singer all my life and never attained the level you have reached. And I am a Texan born and bred and well old enough to be your daddy so I know talent when I hear it. Keep up the good work. God be with you.

OMG is so Emotional, i love your voice🖤🌈

The videos, in which you work with the hollens family, (as you tell your subscribers and your patreons) are really incredible.
  All your work is impressive, really, but these videos are another level.
  Greetings and keep on being the best

Love you man. Keep up what you do. Love to listen. Only real criticism I have for this is.... well it just feels rushed. Loved the entire video. Just listening to the movie and then jumping over to you, just felt rushed. Again, you’re awesome. Don’t stop doing you.

You're the best peter hollens i love your singing voice its so good the greatest showman is my most favorite musical movie ever peace out

Love it very good

Great song 😊

I so needed to see this at this moment in time. Thankyou. 🙏🙏🙏
