Could this be the day I have waited for

When all my hard work doesn't go ignored?

Maybe she was right, they will realize

I can change the world, open up their eyes

I will change this world, baby this is it

Then they'll understand this was meant for me

No one will be able to deny my skill, nor love for you

Try and pluck the pearls from your bones)
