Lyrics
All the years that I have dreamed
Of this moment and what it means
The world is waiting, anticipating
I'll give everything I have
Yes I know that all the pain
and the desire I can't explain
is bringing me nearer, it couldn't be clearer
this is my day and I will shine
And when it's over, let the banners be unfurled
cos I'll be standing there, on top of the world
and I know I'll get my moment in the sun
when victory is won, and I'm second to none
Come the day that I grow old
and my story will be told
I can imagine the pride and passion
as I hold my head up high
And to those who gave me hope
when I thought I could not cope
I want to thank you, now I have come through
this is my day and I will shine
And when it's over, let the banners be unfurled
cos I'll be standing there, on top of the world
and I know I'll get my moment in the sun
when victory is won, and I'm second to none
