On top of the world

If you love somebody

Better tell them while they're here 'cause

They just may run away from you.

You'll never know what went well

Then again it just depends on,.

How long of time is left for you

I've had the highest mountains

I've had the deepest rivers.

You can have it all but life keeps moving.

Now take it in but don't look down.

‘Cause I'm on top of the world, ‘ay

I'm on top of the world, ‘ay

Waiting on this for a while now

Paying my dues to the dirt

I've been waiting to smile, ‘ay

Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay

Take it with me if I can.

Been dreaming of this since a child

I'm on top of the world.

I've tried to cut these corners

Try to take the easy way out

I kept on falling short of something

I coulda gave up then but

Then again I couldn't have 'cause

I've traveled all this way for something.

Now take it in but don't look down.

‘Cause I'm on top of the world, ‘ay

I'm on top of the world, ‘ay

Waiting on this for a while now

Paying my dues to the dirt

I've been waiting to smile, ‘ay

Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay

Take it with me if I can

Been dreaming of this since a child

I'm on top of the world

And I know it's hard when you're falling down

And it's a long way up when you hit the ground

Get up now, get up, get up now!

‘Cause I'm on top of the world, ‘ay

I'm on top of the world, ‘ay

Waiting on this for a while now

Paying my dues to the dirt

I've been waiting to smile, ‘ay

Been holding it in for a while, ‘ay

Take it with me if I can

Been dreaming of this since a child

I'm on top of the world
