Lyrics
I've been waiting a long time For this moment to come, I'm Destined for anything at all Downtown, lights will be shining On me like a new diamond Ring out under the midnight hour Well, no one can touch me now, well And I can't turn my back, it's Too late, ready or not at all Well, I'm so much closer than I have ever known... Wake up! Dawning of a new era Calling, don't let it catch ya Falling, ready or not at all Oh, so close enough to taste it Almost, I can embrace this Feeling on the tip of my tongue Well, I'm so much closer than I have ever known... Wake up! You better thank your lucky stars! Say, hey, hey! Well, I'm so much closer than I have ever known... Wake up! You better thank your lucky stars! Say, hey, hey! I've been waiting a lifetime For this moment to come, I'm Destined for anything at all Dumbstruck, color me stupid Good luck, you're gonna need it Where I'm going, if I get there at all Wake up! You better thank your lucky stars!
