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
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
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.
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
