bound at every limb by my shackles of band
sealed with music through so many fans
lost from within, pursuing the end
i fight for the chance to be first chair again

you'll never play strong enough
you'll never play good enough
you were never in band from love
you will not rise above

[chorus]
they'll never see
i'll never be
i'll struggle on and on to be first chair
second chair just isn't me

but through my practice breaks a blinding light
birthing an audition to this endless fight
notes outstretched, awaiting me
an open spot up in top band, yupee!

rest in me and i'll comfort you
i have practiced and i played for you
believe in me and i vow to you
i will be first chair for you

[chorus]
[chorus]

you rested in me and i comforted you
i have audtioned and i did well for you
you believed in me and i now tell you
I HAVE MADE FIRST CHAIR FOR YOU!!

they will now see
i will now be
i'll struggle on and on to play my best
for i'm first chair now, oh yes oh yes
