Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I've been

Waiting a long time for this

Moment to come, I'm destined

For anything at all

[Verse 2]

Downtown

Lights will be shining on me

Like a new diamond ring out

Under the midnight hour

[Verse 3]

Well no one

Can touch me now, well, and I

Can't turn my back it's too late

Ready or not at all

[Chorus]

Well, I'm so much closer than

I have ever known

Wake up

[Verse 4]

Dawning

Of a new era calling

Don't let it catch you falling

Ready or not at all

[Verse 5]

Oh, so close

Enough to taste it almost

I can't embrace this feeling

On the tip of my tongue

[Chorus]

Well, I'm so much closer than

I have ever known

Wake up

[Chorus]

Better thank your lucky stars

Say, hey, hey

[Chorus]

Well, I'm so much closer than

I have ever known

Wake up

[Chorus]

Better thank your lucky stars

Say, hey, hey

[Outro]

I've been

Waiting a lifetime for this

Moment to come I'm destined

For anything at all

[Outro]

Dumbstruck

Color me stupid good luck

You're gonna need it where I'm

Going if I get there at all

[Outro]

Wake up

Better thank your lucky stars
