If you love somebody Better tell them while they're here cause
They just may run away from you
You'll never know quite when 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
I 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 you 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
I 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 you 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 you 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
