Sitting on Top of the World
Jeff & Sheri Easter Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been afraid, been confused
Doubted everything I thought that I knew
But I've felt peace and I've been loved
Got back on my feet, thanking God above
And I know how it feels
And how it feels to breathe
The air that gives me life
I know the signs that come
With trusting and believing
And the darkness when
The shadow hide the light
Yeah I know how it feels to survive
I've been alone, felt betrayed
Didn't know if I could stand another day
But I've found joy and I've had faith
Known the strength that gets me
Through one more day
And I know how it feels
to walk out of a valley
And how it feels to breathe
The air that gives me life
I know the signs that come
With trusting and believing
And the darkness when
The shadow hide the light
Yeah I know how it feels to survive
And now I live with eyes wide open
And my heart is filled with gratitude
And I know everything I have is only borrowed
And by the Grace of God I know I'll make it through
And I know how it feels
to walk out of a valley
And how it feels to breathe
The air that gives me life
I know the signs that come
With trusting and believing
And the darkness when
The shadow hide the light
Yeah I know how it feels to survive
I know how it feels to survive
