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 any 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      It's 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      Better thank your lucky stars   Say, hey, hey      I've been waiting a life time   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   Better thank your lucky stars
