When you're alone you ask yourself What are you searching for Deep in the night a dream is born One that you can't ignore If you think you can find the passion And you're ready to take a chance If you really believe you can make it Then the power is in your own hands [Chorus] It's the moment of truth You're giving it all Standing alone, willing to fall If you can do it Get up and prove it Get up and show them who you are It's the moment of truth It's all on the line This is the place This is the time Waited forever, it's now or it's never Nothing can stop you now* Once in your life you make a choice Ready to risk it all Deep in your soul you hear a voice Answering to the call Though you know that it won't be easy It's a promise you make for love For the people that keep believing And the one that you're thinking of ( *[Chorus]Repeat)
