lyrics

Well I’m standing on top of the world
I’m standing strong and tall
Winter winds can’t get me down
Ain’t no obstacle.

One step, two step into the night.
Voices whisper wild.
But lava flows deep in my soul.
And helps me climb the mile.
To the peak I look around.
Centered. Satisfied.

Well I’m standing on top of the world
I’m standing strong and tall
Winter winds can’t get me down
Ain’t no obstacle.

Shadows follow my trail.
They gather close behind.
But I shine a light and take a look.
To see what I might find.
All I see are memories.
The faded ugly kind.

Well I’m standing on top of the world
I’m standing strong and tall
Winter winds can’t get me down
Ain’t no obstacle.

Quiet, still is the night.
It wraps me like a doll.
That I hold near to clear my fears.
Protect me from the fall.
But I’m stronger than I thought I’d be.
I’m answering the call.

Well I’m standing on top of the world
I’m standing strong and tall
Winter winds can’t get me down
Ain’t no obstacle.
