This Time

This time I'm gonna get it right
This time I'm gonna get win 
This time I'm gonna know the score 
Before I begin 
This is the chance of a lifetime 
This is the real big break 
This time I can't make a mistake

Long enough I've lived in the dark
Now it's time for the light 
For too often I have been wrong 
This time I'll be right 
I got a feeling in my bones 
For once I'm wide awake
This time I can't make a mistake

This is the way it meant to be in the first place
Out in the front line looking in the eye
I always knew that someday I'd see the really big race
Everything is rolling look at me I'm ready to fly 

Now I know, I know it for sure
This bright day is for me
I have my doubts in the past 
Now I know I am free
I don't mind shouting it out loud 
Finally I see the day break 
This time I can't make a mistake 
This time I'll get it right 
This time is my night 
This time
