Tim McMorris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm on top of the world, and now I'm livin'
And the good just gets better, keeps on givin'
Not even close to the end, it's just beginnin'
Life is getting lighter
While the days are getting brighter, yeah

And it's all good, I won't even worry anymore
Took all my cares, took them, kicked them all, out the door
Go on and try it, come on and tell me what you're waiting for
Move and keep on going, till your life is overflowing, yeah

I do a dance, do a dance of victory
Cause now I'm livin' good, no I'm not livin' like I used to be
Not talkin' bout' things, talking bout my mind
Now I'm free from the worries that I left behind

I gotta jump for joy, and shout aloud, and make a sound, oh
The world can't stop me now, no
And on the music I will ride on the beat
Play my guitar, while I'm stompin' my feet, yeah

I'm gotta celebrate life
And get excited about
Good times and good livin'
Come on and shout it out, (Hey!)

Take it up, take it over, take it out of control
Today I'm freein' my soul, and now you got me singin'
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Whoa

I'm feelin' fine, smiling big, feelin' right like I should
Life is better then good, ya, you got me singin'
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Whoa

I'm standing up, on top of the world tonight
And everything's working out, just right
And while the world is spinning
It's a brand new beginning
I'm here finally winning (Hey!)
So, take it up, take it over, take it out of control
Today I'm freeing my soul, and now you got me singin'
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Whoa

Oh Oh
Oh Oh

We gotta be the best, the best we can be
And though sometimes we don't wanna
Still we gotta chase our dreams
Reach up, and reach high, because we're gonna pull on through
And give it all we got, even though it can seem so hard to

Catch and make happen, but we can't start slackin', come on
Do what ya gotta do to fight on
So no matter what comes your way
Nothin' can ruin your day
Or even wipe your smile away

By the time I'm up and outta my bed
I got a hundred new ideas floatin' round in my head
With a hope for tomorrow, a dream that I can see
Of all the awesome things, the great people we could be

And maybe by the music or the songs that I sing
I'll change the world with the simple message that I will I bring
All I know is that it's out there, there's more to discover
And a lot of good things, we can learn from one another

Gotta celebrate life
And get excited about
Good times and good livin'
Come on and shout it out, (Hey!)

Take it up, take it over, take it out of control
Today I'm freein' my soul, and now you got me singin'
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Whoa

I'm feelin' fine, smiling big, feelin' right like I should
Life is better then good, ya, you got me singin'
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Whoa

I'm standing up, on top of the world tonight
And everything's working out, just right
And while the world is spinning
It's a brand new beginning
I'm here finally winning (Hey!)
So, take it up, take it over, take it out of control




Today I'm freeing my soul, and now you got me singin'
Oh Oh Oh Oh Oh Whoa
