Whoa
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 it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
Impossible comes true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
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
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
It's blindin', outshining anything that you know
Just surrender 'cause you're comin' and you wanna go
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
Impossible comes true, intoxicatin' you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watchin' it come true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
It's everything you ever want
It's everything you ever need
And it's here right in front of you
This is where you wanna be (this is where you wanna be)
It's everything you ever want
It's everything you ever need
And it's here right in front of you (this is what you want)
This is where you wanna be
This is where you wanna be
When it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night (oh, oh yeah)
Impossible comes true, it's taking over you (hee)
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the sun can't stop us now
Watching' it come true, it's taking over you
This is the greatest show
When it's covered in all the colored lights
Where the runaways are runnin' the night
Impossible comes true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
We light it up, we won't come down
And the walls can't stop us now
Watchin' it come true, it's takin' over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
'Cause everything you want is right in front of you
And you see the impossible is comin' true
And the walls can't stop us (now) now, (oh), yeah
This is the greatest show (oh)
This is the greatest show (oh)
This is the greatest show (oh)
This is the greatest show (oh)
This is the greatest show (oh)
This is the greatest show (oh)

The bridge urges listeners to seize the present moment and surrender to an exhilarating sensation that is calling out to them. There's no need to resist it, since it's only after we give in that we can finally let go of ourselves and experience every second of life to the fullest.
Overall, the song "The Greatest Show" is a brilliant cry for individuals to break free from conventions and become true to their own desires, reigniting our yearning to live a larger-than-life experience.

Ladies and gents, this is the moment you've waited for (whoa)
This is the time you've been eagerly waiting for
Been searching in the dark, your sweat soaking through the floor (whoa)
You've been tirelessly searching for something, sweating profusely and feeling defeated
And buried in your bones there's an ache that you can't ignore
You have an intense feeling deep within you, that you cannot simply ignore
Taking your breath, stealing your mind
It's overwhelming you, taking your breath and your focus away from everything else
And all that was real is left behind
Everything that was important to you before, now seems insignificant
Don't fight it, it's coming for you, running at ya
Don't resist, it's already on its way towards you at full speed
It's only this moment, don't care what comes after
This is the only moment that matters and nothing else after will be of importance
Your fever dream, can't you see it getting closer
Your dream that felt like a distant fever, is now getting closer and within reach
Just surrender 'cause you feel the feeling taking over
Let go and give in because the feeling is too strong to resist
It's fire, it's freedom, it's flooding open
It's a feeling of being released from chains and being free to explore new opportunities
It's a preacher in the pulpit and your blind devotion
It's like being blindly devoted and awed by a powerful preacher preaching a message
There's something breaking at the brick of every wall, it's holding
There's a force breaking through the obstacles and barriers standing in its way
All that you know
Everything you've known up until now
So tell me, do you wanna go?
Do you want to experience this and be a part of it?
Where it's covered in all the colored lights
In a place lit up with a multitude of colorful lights
Where the runaways are running the night
Where runaway people find refuge and freedom during the night
Impossible comes true, it's taking over you
Things that were once deemed impossible are becoming a reality, and it's taking over you
Oh, this is the greatest show
This is the most spectacular and amazing show
We light it up, we won't come down
We are going to light up this place and keep the energy high
And the sun can't stop us now
Nothing can stop us from enjoying this moment, not even the sun rising
Watching it come true, it's taking over you
Watching your wildest dreams come true and being consumed by them
(Whoa) colossal we come these renegades in the ring
We come in huge numbers, as rebels in the ring
(Whoa) where the lost get found in the crown of the circus king
Where those who were lost, finally find themselves and feel like royalty
It's blinding, outshining anything that you know
It's overwhelming and nothing you've seen or experienced before can compare
Just surrender 'cause you're calling and you wanna go
Give in to the feeling calling out to you, because you really want to experience it
It's everything you ever want
It has every single thing you've ever wanted or dreamed of
It's everything you ever need
It has everything you need to fulfill your desires and needs
And it's here right in front of you
It's all right here in front of you, waiting for you
This is where you wanna be (this is where you wanna be)
This is the place you've always wanted deep down inside (repeated for emphasis)
And the walls can't stop us (now) now, yeah
We won't let any barriers stop us from achieving our dreams
And you see the impossible is coming true
You realize that what you thought was impossible is actually becoming a reality
This is the greatest show
This is the most amazing and spectacular show
