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 in a 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 you 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!

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!
And better thank your lucky stars
