[Verse 1:]
You thought I was weak (weak) and vulnerable
But I'm free (free) and powerful
You thought I was alone (alone) and pitiful
But I am strong (strong) individual
[Bridge:]
You thought I'm on my way down,
but I'm on a rebound
Thought I was falling but I got my feet on solid ground
I just believed in myself
[Chorus:]
That's why I'm standing on top of the world now, and no there ain't nothing gonna bringa me down, I'm just gone keep on going living every moment head up high, that's right
cause I'm standing on top of the world now
and don't you ever think you're bringing me down
you can hate, you can take, you can try your best to break me
but i'm on top of the world..
[Verse 2:]
Thought on you I could rely (ly)
but you let me down, but then there were your lies (lies)
and i caught you out
[Bridge:]
You thought I'm on my way down
but i'm on a rebound, thought
i was falling but i got my feet on solid ground
I'll keep believing in myself..
[Chorus:]
That's why I'm standing on top of the world now, and no there ain't nothing gonna bringa me down, I'm just gone keep on going living every moment head up high, that's right
cause I'm standing on top of the world now
and don't you ever think you're bringing me down
you can hate, you can take, you can try your best to break me
but i'm on top of the world..
[Bridge:]
You thought I'm on my way down
but i'm on a rebound, thought
i was falling but i got my feet on solid ground
and i'm getting stronger,
i'm gone be here for longer
and i'm never gonna doubt myself...
[Chorus:]
That's why I'm standing on top of the world now, and no there ain't nothing gonna bringa me down, I'm just gone keep on going living every moment head up high, that's right
cause I'm standing on top of the world now
and don't you ever think you're bringing me down
you can hate, you can take, you can try your best to break me
but i'm on top of the world..
