lyrics

i've been waiting for a long time for this moment to come
i'm destined for anything at all
downtown lights will be shining on me like a diamond
ring out under the midnight hour 
no one can touch me now and i can't turn my back
it's too late ready or not at all
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 
so close enough to taste it almost i can embrace this
feeling on the tip of my tongue
i'm so much closer than i have ever known
wake up
better thank your lucks stars
i've been waiting a long time for this moment to come
i'm destined for anything at all
dumbstruck colour me stupid
good luck you're gonna need it
where i'm going if i get there at all
wake up
better thank your lucky stars
