To hearts of unconventional champions

This concert hall has never seen the likes of me
the likes of us
Oh sure, great performances, impossible concertos
have been performed to perfection within its walls
Applause, standing ovations have been furnished
and brandished for worthy performances all their own
But none will compare to ours tonight
We are undeniably undertalented
underqualified, and underpracticed
The majority of our group will be underprepared
and perfection is not what we will attain
But one thing sets us apart from the rest
We aren't afraid.

Aren't afraid to make mistakes
to emote beyond our potential
to blow out our voice boxes
upon grandiose fortes
or to drop like flies
holding out the faintest of pianissimos
They will feel our presence
and relish in our excellence
The likes of us have never been experienced
so lets fill the shoes that have yet to be created

We aren't the best, and we aren't afraid to admit it
but tonight we will be
the best they've ever heard
