Top of the World

Break the camp, the plan is done The mountain waits for you to come Snow and ice, the granite rock One mistake and you will drop The summit never conquered yet Soon you'll face your final test No oxygen is taken there You only breathe the thinning air This is the land where the Earth meets the sky Standing on top of the World You're standing on top of the World Inch by inch you nearer climb Up towards the death zone line Your body claws for every breath Razor sharp across your chest Step by step, each painful minute Through the clouds towards the summit Standing there in majesty The highest place above the sea This is the land where the Earth meets the sky Standing on top of the World You're standing on top of the World Make no mistake, descent is slow Death awaits you far below Check the rope is good and strong Take your time, don't get it wrong To reach the peak is what you yearn But many go and don't return Your body screams from the lack of rest But no one hears on Everest This is the land where the Earth meets the sky Standing on top of the World You're standing on top of the World Standing on top of the World You're standing on top of the World
