Intro (9 Seconds of music)
If you love somebody,
better tell them while they’re here ‘cos
they just may run away from you.
You’ll never know quite when well,
then again it just depends on,
how long of time is left for you.
I’ve had the highest mountains,
I’ve had the deepest rivers
you can have it all but life keeps moving
Take it in but don’t look down…
Chorus
‘Cos I’m on top of the word, ay
I’m on top of the world, ay
been waiting on this for a while now,
paying my dues to the dirt.
Chorus
I’ve been waiting to smile, ay
been holding it in for a while, ay
take it with me if I can
been dreaming of this since a child.
I’m on top of the world.
I’ve tried to cut these corners,
tried to take the easy way out
I kept on falling short of something.
I coulda gave up then but,
then again I couldn’t have cos,
I've travelled all this way for something.
Take it in but don’t look down…
Chorus
‘Cos I’m on top of the word, ay
I’m on top of the world, ay
been waiting on this for a while now,
paying my dues to the dirt.
Chorus
I’ve been waiting to smile, ay
been holding it in for a while, ay
take it with me if I can
been dreaming of this since a child.
I’m on top of the world.

Intro (5 seconds)
Hark the Herald Angels sing,
glory to the new born king!
Peace one earth and mercy mild,
God and sinners reconciled.
Joyful all ye nations rise,
join the triumph of the skies,
with angelic host proclaim,
Christ is born in Bethlehem
Hark the Herald Angels sing
glory to the new born king!
Hail the heaven-born Prince of Peace,
hail the son of righteousness,
light and life to all he brings,
risen with healing in his wings.
Mild he lays his glory by,
born that man no more may die,
born to raise the sons of earth,
born to give them second birth,
Hark the Herald Angels sing
glory to the new born king!
