Sitting on Top of the World
Bruce Baker & Moore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It must be hiding
Searchin through the sky
Hoping to find a way,
A way,
To get me through the day
Don't know where I belong
Is this where I should stay?
You lift me up when I am falling
You're my friend when I was calling
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world
Yea you always been believing
In my life
A whole new meaning
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world
There's a strength in me
It seems I have forgotten
Now I realize today
I'm starting to dream again,
Again,
Was a matter of when
I guess we all lose our way now and then
You lift me up when I am falling
You're my friend when I was calling
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world
Yea you always been believing
In my life
A whole new meaning
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world
You lift my up when I was falling
You lift my up when I was falling
You lift me up when I am falling
You're my friend when I was calling
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world
Yea you always been believing
In my life
A whole new meaning
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world
Yea you always been believing
In my life
A whole new meaning
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world
Always been believing
In my life
A whole new meaning
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world
Top of the whole wide world
Yea you always been believing
In my life
A whole new meaning
Now I'm on top of the world
Top of the whole wide world
The lyrics of Bruce Baker & Moore's song "Sitting on Top of the World" express a sentiment of having lost faith but then regained it with the help of a friend or loved one. The singer starts the song feeling lost, searching the sky for a sign of guidance. They don't know where they belong and wonder if they should stay in their current state of despair. But then the singer's friend enters the picture, lifting them up when they are falling and believing in their life. They start to dream again, rediscover their forgotten strength, and find a new meaning in life. Now, they are sitting on top of the world, feeling empowered and grateful for their friend's support.
The song's message is one of hope and resilience. It acknowledges that everyone can lose their way at some point in life, but with the right people by our side, we can find our way back and even reach new heights. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and the melody reinforces the emotion expressed by the words.

For a time I thought my faith
I once believed in my faith, but then it seemed to disappear
It must be hiding
I couldn't find my faith anywhere
Searchin through the sky
I looked to the heavens for guidance
Hoping to find a way,
I was looking for a path to follow
A way,
I needed a clear direction
To get me through the day
I needed something to help me cope
Don't know where I belong
I feel lost and unsure of my place in the world
Is this where I should stay?
I question if I am on the right path
You lift me up when I am falling
You provide support when I am struggling
You're my friend when I was calling
You are always there for me when I need someone to talk to
Now I'm on top of the world
I feel like I have overcome my struggles
Top of the whole wide world
I feel like I am on top of everything
Yea you always been believing
You have always had faith in me
In my life
Throughout my experiences and journey
A whole new meaning
Your belief in me has given my life a new purpose
There's a strength in me
I have the inner strength to overcome obstacles
It seems I have forgotten
I had forgotten my own ability to be strong
Now I realize today
But now I understand
I'm starting to dream again,
I am now able to see my future and have goals
Again,
Once more
Was a matter of when
It was only a matter of time before I regained my strength
I guess we all lose our way now and then
It is common for people to feel lost or uncertain at times

The more I listen to this live set, the more I enjoy Gary Moore's playing. He did a great job interpreting the old Cream material.
