"The right to sing, the right to play. The right to do the things I feel in my own way. And if you took it all and asked me to pretend, you'd be breaking a heart that won't mend. The right to win, the right to lose. The right to fall in love with anyone I choose. And when it's my mistake and everything goes wrong I would write what I feel in a song."
