Lyrics
Top Of The World
By: Alan Gruskoff ©2004
Verse 1
Just when I think that I'm on Top Of The World, everything going my way.
I realize how very fragile that is and such an easy thing to say.
Late on an evening that is windy and cold, this fella comes into view,
he looks so tired and he's shivering so and then I wonder what to do?
Chorus
Maybe I could try to help somebody? (you know) people help me too.
I could try to be a better person if I knew what to do.
Trouble always seems so overwhelming who knows where to start?
Shouldn't I do just a simple something that's felt from the heart?
Verse 2
I was convinced I was on Top Of The World. You see I have everything
And yet I know about so many around who know only suffering
I when I see that there are children that way they have no food and no shoes
It's rather clear it's to our mutual shame and there are senses I should use
[Chorus]
Ending Verse
So now we know that there's a job that's at hand, so many mouths left to feed
And we can stop when it's apparent to all there is no one left in need.
