I don’t believe it!
Pinch me to see if I am awake!
I can’t believe it!
Wake me and say there’s been a mistake!

No, don’t! I’d sooner sleep on
In case – that is – until the dream has gone.
No, this is no dream, my friend.
This, it would seem,
Is where my troubles end.

Stand well back – I’m comin’ through
Nothing can stop me now!
Watch out, world – I’m warning you
Nothing can stop me now!

Now I know that there is a Promised Land
I’m gonna find it, and how!
Hope is high and I’m gonna cling to it
Tie ev’ry string to it
Give ev’ry thing to it.

I’ll make all my dreams come true
Before my final bow!
How I’ll do it, who can say?
But I know I will someday.
Watch out, world – I’m on my way
Nothing can stop me now!

I shall find success today
Nothing can stop me now!
Yesterday was yesterday
Nothing can stop me now!

Now I know the future is mine to have
I’m hereby makin’ a vow!
From now on I’m gonna begin again
Stick out my chin again
Go in and win again!

Get you gone, you sky of grey!
Farewell, you furrowed brow!
Now my future’s crystal clear!
No more woe for me to fear!
I’m gonna stand this world upon its ear
And I’ll succeed somehow!

I’ll walk a million miles
For life’s full of smiles.
Nothing can stop me now!
