Alone on a hot dry day
I sit and contemplate
What happened to me?
Yeah, What happened to me?
I was up on stage, rocking that song
Then I messed up and sung it all wrong
Oh, why right now of all times
Oh why right now
I’m the laughing stock of the city (Build-Up)
I must prevail against controversy
So what do I do? x4 (Rap)
I will redeem myself(Chorus)
I will show my strength
Show those judges I can sing
Give me the mic
Turn up the gain
And let loose all the pain
Redemption, Redemption, Redemption!
I want redemption…
I was the best of all of them
People thought I could win
I began to grow slack
And committed a huge sin
The appreciation got to my head
All 4 judges wanted me
Oh, the direction I was being led
Music came naturally to me
I breezed through the semifinals with little practice
Took me music for granted
“Now what do I do”, I chanted
I will redeem myself(Chorus)
I will swallow my pride
I will sway them to my side
Give me the stage
Turn up the bass
And show the world my face
Redemption, Redemption, Redemption!
I just want redemption…
I will rebuild my reputation back
Maybe even become a national sensation
But I will forget not the importance of humility
And shall not go astray
I will pray but don’t know about fate
I don’t believe in fate anyways
I will control my destiny
And reach the core of everybody I see
Now it’s time for action
I will expose myself to the public eye(Chorus)
Might be laughed at a couple times
But I will sway them to my side
Give me the audience
Turn up the expectations
And show the world how hard I’ve been practicing for this
Redemption, Redemption, Redemption!
I just want redemption…
