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.

 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.
