If you love somebodyBetter tell them while they’re here ’causeThey just may run away from you

You’ll never know what went wellThen again it just depends onHow long of time is left for you

I’ve had the highest mountainsI’ve had the deepest riversYou 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, ‘ayI’m on top of the world, ‘ayWaiting on this for a while nowPaying my dues to the dirtI’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ayBeen holding it in for a while, ‘ayTake it with me if I canBeen dreaming of this since a childI’m on top of the world.
I’ve tried to cut these cornersTry to take the easy way outI kept on falling short of something
I coulda gave up then butThen again I couldn’t have ’causeI’ve traveled all this way for something

Now take it in but don’t look down

‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ayI’m on top of the world, ‘ayWaiting on this for a while nowPaying my dues to the dirtI’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ayBeen holding it in for a while, ‘ayTake it with me if I canBeen dreaming of this since a childI’m on top of the world.

And I know it’s hard when you’re falling downAnd it’s a long way up when you hit the groundGet up now, get up, get up now.
