On Top Of The World
The Louis Lester Band Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time I felt so low
each day was tough, it scared me
dare not believe that I could live life my way
when I came to my mind was clear
said my goodbyes and shed a tear
things will never be the same again.
My head up high, I came to turn
and learned to love a little
you showed me how to play the game
that I succeed a little
Now I can dream about as high as I can go
I'm just on top of the world
Sometimes at night, I can't forget
the life I lived not long ago
I've no regrets, I ran away
can't touch me now just let me show
that I can dream about as high as I can go
I'm just on top of the world
yeah I'm on of the world
(I'm on top, I'm on top...)
I'm on top of the world, I'm on top of the world
I'm on top, I'm on top of the world




I'm on top of the world, I'm on top of the world
I'm just on top of the world
