Lyrics for The Rival's Dilemma

So... what if they are right And he's so remarkable How does that affect me? Ever since I was a child It all came so easy I never had to try If he's as brilliant as they say How will I be noticed Now I'm not so special... anymore I'm not sure why I'm afraid No, he won't beat me Not without a fight, no! One day I'll show them I am the genius One day the whole world will know One day I'll show them who he really is One day they'll know
