Sitting on the Roof of the World lyrics

I climbed a mountain

Not knowing that I had

Thought it was just a road from A to B

I took no protection

Not much of anything

Just went as I was

Looking in windows

And playing songs and knocking on doors

I was not scared

I just enjoyed the sights

Kept myself to myself

There I was, sitting on the roof of the world

There I was, there I was

Not knowing how I got there

Or how to leave

Everyone says I was lucky to have got there

As not many can

Truth be told I was saved

By the love, of a good man

Who came and got me

And brought me down

From on up there

And I'd be lying if I didn't say

I missed it now and then

But I have no wish to go back there

There I was,

Sitting on the roof of the world

There I was, with all the Gods

Not knowing how I got there, or how to leave

People say,

What's so special about being back here

With everyone so close

But that's the point

I don't want to be different

I just want to fit in

There I was, there I was

Sitting on the roof of the world

There I was, with all the Gods

Not knowing how I got there

Or how to leave

Not knowing how I got there

Or how to leave

Not knowing how I got there

Or how to leave
