On Top Of The World
Rachel Bearer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Verse 1]
I don't have the balance
Think I'm gonna fall
Wish I had the talent
I don't belong here at all
Drowning in the pressure
In above my head
Why did I think I could do this
I could have walked away instead

[Refrain]
This is my chance to break free
Everythings depending on me
And if I'll keep tryin I'll be

[Chorus:]
On top of the world
Where I can see everything before me
Reaching up to touch the sky
On top of the world
All of my dreams are rushing toward me
Stretching out my wings to fly
On top of the world
On top of the world

Nothing's gonna break me
Gonna get it right, even if it takes me doing it a thousand times
Trying once is easy, dicipline is hard
But nothing can defeat me, if the change is in my heart

[Refrain]
This is my chance to break free(This is my chance)
Everything's depending on me(It's on me)
And if I keep tryin I'll be(I'll be)

[Chorus]
On top of the world
Where I can see everything before me
Reaching up to touch the sky
On top of the world
All of my dreams are rushing toward me
Stretching out my wings to fly
On top of the world

Again, again
Without a doubt
Keep on movin
I cant give in now
I can feel it... almost there
You know I'm climbing up, up, up... I'm on top of the world!!!

[Chorus]
Where I can see everything before me ( I'm reaching up)
Reaching up to touch the sky
On top of the world ( All of my dreams )
All of my dreams are rushing toward me
Stretching out my wings to fly
On top of the world

Where I can see everything before me
Reaching up to touch the sky
On top of the world (All of my dreams)
All of my dreams are rushing toward me




Stretching out my wings to fly
On top of the world

However, the singer sees this struggle as an opportunity to break free from the constraints of their present situation and reach their full potential, taking on this challenge with discipline, determination, and a change of heart. The chorus reflects the euphoria and sense of accomplishment that comes with succeeding against all odds, painting a picture of a person who has finally made it to the top, where they can see their dreams materializing before their eyes and reaching up to touch the sky.


The song is an anthem for anyone who is striving to achieve their dreams, despite the odds against them.
