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.
Oooooooo... OoooAhhhhhOoooAhhhhh[2x]
�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.
