I'm Top of the World

I'm top of the world

There's a pair of shadows found in this town
One cast from your family one cast to the ground
Sweeps down from that mountain that looms over all
As a child I stared up, a dreamer in awe

I wanna climb to the top of the mountain
This I swear, I'm gonna make it there

I was young and smart but I was mostly afraid
Of shadows, of shadows
So I plied my trade on the Main Street parade
My parents passed on and I stayed on my plateau

I wanna climb to the top of the mountain
This I swear, One day I'll make it there

I buried myself in a spot below radar
And we all know, how fast the years go
I reached a point where it was now or never
I will show them all out of the shadow

I started back up they'll be so proud of me
I'd be the talk of the town and my family
All their doubts would soon prove wrong
None of you ever really knew me all along

I climbed to the top of the mountain
And no one was there
And nobody cared

Nobody wants to read your story nobody wants to hear your song
They all got their own - shadows
Who's there to truly care when your parents are gone
To shadows just shadows

Closed my eyes and said a prayer
All the grace that - I'm allowed
To the ones who believed that I'd get there
Mom I hope I made you proud

I climbed to the top of the mountain
And no one was there
And nobody cared

I climbed to the top of the mountain
I sang in the air
For all who were there

Look at me, mom I'm top of the world
Look at me, mom I'm top of the world
