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 a time is left for you
I've had the highest mountains
I've had the deepest river
You can have it all but life keeps movin'
Now take it in but don't look down
'Cause I'm on top of the world,
I'm on top of the world, ay
Waitin' on this for a while now
Payin' my dues to the dirt
I've been waitin' to smile, ay
Been holdin' it in for a while, ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I've tried to cut these corners
Tried to take the easy way out
I kept on fallin' short of somethin'
I could have gave up then but
Then again I couldn't have 'cause
I've traveled all this way for somethin'
I take it in but don't look down
'Cause I'm on top of the world,
I'm on top of the world, ay
Waitin' on this for a while now
Payin' my dues to the dirt
I've been waitin' to smile, ay
Been holdin' 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, ay
Waitin' on this for a while now
Payin' my dues to the dirt
I've been waitin' to smile, ay
Been holdin' it in for a while, ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
'Cause I'm on top of the world, ay
I'm on top of the world, ay
Waitin' on this for a while now
Payin' my dues to the dirt
I've been waitin' to smile, ay
Been holdin' it in for a while, ay
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
