This will be the moment when we all stand up and try
When the standing ovations ring out and people cry
When they spot that light
On a lonely stage
And the world is watching you, my friend
We will stand and raise our voices
We will sing
Until the end

This is the real thing, tonight is the greatest
Stand up and sing it, I know you can feel it
If you just take my hand and look in my eyes
Tonight this will be the ride of your life
Oh oh, oh yeah, tonight is the greatest

You travel so far and wide
Along that dusty road at night
Looking for the stars that shine, that shine, that shine
Uhh, yeah
So many dreamers here tonight
So many words so little time
So spread your wings and you will fly
You'll fly, you'll fly, you'll fly!

This is the real thing, tonight is the greatest
Stand up and sing it, I know you can feel it
If you just take my hand and look in my eyes
Tonight this will be the ride of your life
Oh oh, oh yeah, tonight is the greatest

Ooh ooh ooh ooh,
ooh ooh ooh ooh,
ooh ooh ooh ooh,
ooh ooh ooh

And when the curtain falls and the night is done
And the silence rolls like thunder
From a distant call I hear my people call
I will be right there to answer!

This is the real thing, tonight is the greatest
Stand up and sing it, I know you can feel it
If you just take my hand and look in my eyes
Tonight this will be the ride of your life
Oh oh, oh yeah, tonight is the greatest
Oh ooooh, tonight is the greatest
