Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for (whoa)
Been searching in the dark, your sweat soakin' through the floor (whoa)
And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore
Takin' your breath, stealing your mind
And all that was real is left behind
Don't fight it, it's coming for you, runnin' at ya
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
Your fever dream, can't you see it gettin' closer?
Just surrender 'cause you feel the feeling takin' over (oh)
It's fire, it's freedom, it's floodin' open (oh)
It's a preacher in the pulpit and your blind devotion (oh)
There's something breaking at the brick of every wall, it's holding
All that you know (oh)
So tell me, do you wanna go?

Where the runaways are runnin' the night
Impossible comes true, it's takin' over you

Watching it come true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
(Whoa) colossal we come these renegades in the ring
(Whoa) where the lost get found and we crown 'em the circus kings
Don't fight it, it's coming for you, runnin' at ya
(Don't try to fight it, it's coming)
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after

"The Greatest Show" is a song from the 2017 musical film "The Greatest Showman". It is a rousing opening number sung by the cast about the excitement and wonder of the circus. The song is written in a grand, anthemic style and is led by a full-throated chorus. It speaks of broken dreams, the search for excitement and the desire to be part of something larger.
The opening lines "Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for" serve as an invitation to the audience to experience the spectacle that is the circus. The second verse talks about the allure of the circus and the feeling it evokes in those who witness it. The chorus is an expression of the wild euphoria and intense passion of the circus performers, as they defy the odds and perform incredible feats.
The song’s message is one of unity, inspiration and self-belief. It talks about how the circus represents a place where anyone can be accepted, and where the impossible can become a reality. The song is both an ode to the performers and the audience, and urges them to embrace the moment and join in the show of life.

The vocals, the beat, the lyrics, the harmonies...
Absolutely flawless.
Even years later, it still gives me chills.
I'll never forget that this exact song sparked my love for musical theatre. An absolute masterpiece.
