Lyrics:

Just once in a lifetime,
A girl knows a moment.
One wonderful moment,
When fate takes his hand.

And this is my moment,
My once in a lifetime.
When I can explore,
A new and exciting land.

For once in a lifetime,
I feel like a giant.
I soar like an eagle,
As ‘tho I had wings.

For this is my moment,
My destiny calls me.
And ‘tho it maybe
Just once in a lifetime,
I’m gonna do great things.
