I think this song can have multiple meanings, depending on the way you percieve it.
One of the meanings, and probably the most obvious one is that this song is about a night that you've been looking forward to for quite a while. It's a night that you've had high expectations for and the night had finally arrived. "Hey, this is the night This is the night" quite obviously means that this is the night they had been waiting for and they are going to make the best out of it.
The other and deeper meaning I believe this is song has is that the song is about having a rough day or time period in your life. However, one day occurs that makes you forget about all the indecenies that have occured lately, and having an amazing night without all the bad occurences. "Cause we're not alone tonight. So raise up your hands and touch the sky" means that you realize that you're not the only one feeling the way that you did and there are people who are less unfortunate than you are and to "raise up your hands and touch the sky" and go out and live life.
