[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Still I feel the pain from that day
When you stepped in to take my dreams away
The stage was set for what would be my night
But you called time and threw my fight

[Pre-Chorus]
Still I'm yearning to claim back what's mine
Still I'm clinging to dreams that won't die
Still I'm dreaming of one more chance
But you still tell me my time has passed

[Chorus]
Give me back my right
To prove that I can fight
Let me show them all
Tonight can be my night

[Verse 2]
Still you think that it's okay (You'll never know the lengths to which I will crawl)
For you to state the rules of play ('Cause tonight is my night, you will not tear down my wall)
But if you could know the lengths to which I'd crawl (You'll never know the lengths to which I will crawl)
To reclaim my pride and break down your walls ('Cause tonight is my night, you will not tear down my wall)
[Pre-Chorus]
Still I'm yearning to claim back what's mine
Still I'm clinging to dreams that won't die
Still I'm dreaming of one more chance, one more chance
But you still tell me my time has passed

[Chorus]
Give me back my right
To prove that I can fight
Let me show them all
Tonight will be my night

[Instrumental Break]

I wish I could have been somebody, I

[Bridge]
Just as a bird was meant to fly
Unbind these wings or let me die

[Chorus]
Give me back my right
To prove that I can fight
Let me show them all
Tonight, this is my night

Give me back my right
To prove that I can fight
Let me show them all
Tonight, this is my night

[Outro]
