| If you love somebody
|
| Better tell them while they're here 'cause
|
| They may just 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 not til you prove it
|
| 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

|
| 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.
