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 couldn't 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
Ooh
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
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 you with me
if I can
Been dreaming
of this
since a child
I'm on top
of the world
