Lyrics
[verse]
Never thought that I would climb this high above the ground,
Never thought that I would find this kind of joyful sound,
The layered voices rising like a chorus of the sun,
Celebrating every single battle that I've won.
[verse]
Every hard-fought morning led me to this shining place,
Every quiet struggle written softly on my face,
The triumphant rhythm carries me above the daily fight,
Filling up the sky with colors warm and bright.
[chorus]
I'm on top of the world, hey,
I'm on top of the world, hey,
Waiting on this for all my life,
Now I'm on top of the world.
[verse]
I don't take a single moment of this joy for granted now,
Every victory reminds me of the mountain and the vow,
The joyful anthem carries every hardship I withstood,
Turning every struggle into something good.
[chorus]
I'm on top of the world, hey,
I'm on top of the world, hey,
Waiting on this for all my life,
Now I'm on top of the world.
[bridge]
(instrumental — layered vocal harmonies, triumphant anthem build)
[chorus]
I'm on top of the world, hey,
I'm on top of the world, hey,
Waiting on this for all my life,
Now I'm on top of the world.
