I've been waitin' a long time
For this moment to come, I'm
Destined for anything at all
Downtown, lights will be shinin'
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 you falling
Ready or not at all
Oh, so close enough to taste it
Almost, I can embrace this feelin'
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
You better thank your lucky stars
For this moment to come, I'm
Destined for anything at all
Downtown, lights will be shinin'
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 you falling
Ready or not at all
Oh, so close enough to taste it
Almost, I can embrace this feelin'
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
You better thank your lucky stars

As cliche as it is, this song will be on repeat the day I graduate. I have a lot of crazy plans after highschool and this song describes how I feel about them perfectly. Definitely one of my favorite songs of all time.
