[Verse 1]
Waiting for the moment when the moment has been waiting all the time
Staring at the golden heights, wondering are you ready for the climb
[Chorus]
Are you ready for this?
If you're ready to believe it, treasure you'll find
Are you ready for that?
Don't mistake the chance, focus your eyes
Will you take the chance?
When you're ready to receive it, fear's left behind
Well you've got the time?
A new perspective
A new state of mind
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
Always on the edge of what could be the greatest moment in this life
Watching as the theme builds, left only to wonder in delight
[Chorus]
You've got to let it go
You've got to let yourself believe in all that can be
Wanting to feel
Wanting to feel just what it means to be free
There's no reason for deceiving
There's no reason for deceiving, focus your eyes
To a new perspective
A new state of mind
[Bridge]
Sometimes you feel you want to run away from it all
Sometimes you hear the voices of the past come to call
But there's no giving up when you are giving it your all
[Verse 3]
Hoping, forgiving and loving, the qualities of life
Designing the future we're building, the dreams taking flight
[Chorus (Abridged)]
Are you ready for love?
Are you ready for love?
Are you ready for love?
A new state of mind
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 1 (Reprise)]
Waiting for the moment when the moment has been waiting all the time
Reaching for the golden heights without a doubt you're ready for the climb
[Chorus]
You've got to set it out
You've got to set yourself believing and fortunes you'll find
No escaping
No escaping once you've made up your mind
There's a reason for your being
There's a reason for your being, focus your eyes
To a new perspective
A new state of mind
