I need to write this down
I need to get this out
I've never felt so good
Everything feels so right
How long does happy last?
Can I keep it in my grasp?
I realize it's up to me
But I don't need to be down
To know what's up and out
To know how to win and low
To know the feeling of the end
I don't need to be under
To be grateful that I am well
With my head in the clouds
I can tell
To be on top of the world I've found
I don't need to be down
No, no, no
I've had the kind of day
Where nothing went my way
What good was worrying about it
'Cause everything turned out right
I've filled my life with chaos
And also sometimes my dreams
Until I've found reason to believe
That I don't need to be down
To know what's up and out
To know how to win and low
To know the feeling of the end
I don't need to be under
To be grateful that I am well
With my head in the clouds
I can tell
To be on top of the world I've found
I don't need to be down
No, no, no
I used to spend my time
Making mountains out of hills
Until I decided to burn the bridge and start all over
Happiness does not depend
On misery's human appearance
Why complain about tomorrow
When today the sun is shining all around
So I, I don't need to be down
I don't need to be under
To be grateful that I am well
With my head in the clouds
I can tell
To be on top of the world I've found
I don't need to be down
To know what's up and out
To know how to win and low
To know the feeling of the end
And I don't need to be under
To be grateful that I am well
With my head in the clouds
I can tell
To be on top of the world I've found
To be on top of the world I've found
Yes, I've found
To be on top of the world I've found
I don't need to be down
