Lyrics
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 river
You 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, eh
I`m on top of the
World, eh
Been waiting on this
for awhile now
Paying my dues to the
dirt
I`ve been waiting
to smile, eh
Been holding it in
for awhile, eh
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
Tried to take the easy way
Out
I kept on falling short, of
Something
I could`ve gave up then. but
Then again I couldn`t have cause
I`ve travelled all this way for
Something
Now take it in but
Don`t look down
Cause I’m on top of the
World, eh
I`m on top of the
World, eh
Been waiting on this
for awhile now
Paying my dues to the
dirt
I`ve been waiting
to smile, eh
Been holding it in
for awhile, eh
take you with me if I can
been dreaming of this since a
child
I`m on top of the world
Ohhhh, ohh, oh
Ohhhh, ohh, oh
Cause I`m on top of the
world, eh
I`m on top of the
world, eh
Been waiting on this
for awhile now
Paying my dues to the
dirt
I`ve been waiting
to smile, eh
Been holding it in
for awhile, eh
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
but 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
But get up now, get up,
get up now
Cause I’m on top of the
world, eh
I`m on top of the
world, eh
Been waiting on this
for awhile now
Paying my dues to the
dirt
I`ve been waiting
to smile, eh
Been holding it in
for awhile, eh
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a
child
And I know its hard when you`re
falling down
And it’s a long way up when you hit
the ground
But 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
But get up now, get up,
get up now
Cause I’m on top of the
world, eh
I`m on top of the
world, eh
Been waiting on this
for awhile now
Paying my dues to the
dirt
I`ve been waiting
to smile, eh
Been holding it in
for awhile, eh
Take you with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a
child
I`m on top of the world
What happens when we give up? If we give up, then we as humans wouldn`t been able to build to many things so no matter how far you fall down a hole we always climb right back up and press toward on are goal. When we reach are goal it would feel like we had just concern the top of the world.
If I had to express the feeling and the meaning of this song, this is how I would tell it.
I think this story is telling that a person was once giving up and thought his life was over when he made this one mistake but then think to himself and thought the reason why he is doing this and that was to accomplish his goals and also to do things now than waiting till the very last moment because you might not know what would happen. Here’s 2 examples “I could`ve gave up then. but Then again I couldn`t have cause I`ve travelled all this way for something “If you love somebody. Better tell them while they`re here cause. They just may run away from you” this poem is happy and funny because at the end the guy got up from his mistake and press forward and finally achieve his ultimate goal then they started a party with a monkey. “I`m on top of the world” means a person that he had climb up from his mistakes and gets to his biggest goal in life which made him feel that he was on top of the world. There are 35 stanzas in the lyrics. This poem is trying to tell you that never give up and to always follow your goals. This song means to me that no matter what mistakes you fall into that you would always pick your self back up and press on towards your goals. This song relates to me in some of my pass life like when I was only 8 years old and I had to play a soccer game and we where losing 4 nothing. It was not a good time so I thought of giving up but then said to my self to keep on going. At the end of the game we won by 2 points. The score was 6-4. Are team was filled up with joy and shock when we won. If we had given up, then we wouldn`t had be able to win and same goes with anything else that you do in life. If I give up a lot in my life, then I wouldn’t be able to make any origami stuff or be able to finish any of my school projects. If you give up in something like a project, chances are that you are not going to finish it and not get a good mark but if push your self and don’t give up then you would be able to accomplish anything in life.
