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 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.

the song.
Song origin
The song itself made to expresses a celebration of accomplishment for
the band after striving for years to become successful.
Mainly because they have been in the music industry for years.
Meanings within the lyrics
In the first two stanzas the song talks about how we often
take people for granted. We might be friendly in thought or even action, but we
never tell them how much they really mean to us. This is a problem I believe is
being increasingly lost in our culture today – we don’t take the time to
communicate our true feeling for each other. Every thing is about instant
communication.
The next verse talks about how a lot of times, we try to take
“short-cuts” to find happiness. These short-cuts have a wide range of
possibilities, everything from buying lottery tickets to try and get rich
quick, to doing as little as possible to complete a task, to something more
serious such as turning to drugs or alcohol to give you that “happy” feeling.
And in the chorus,
talks about hardwork that will lead us to achieve our dreams just like the band
hardwork to become successful.
In conclusion, I like this song. It’s a catchy tune, and I
think the message is a good one. The writer said that the lyrics mainly about
dreams that coming true for hardword that we’ve done.
