[Intro]

Yeah, uh, uh

Yeah

It's the world's greatest

It's the world's greatest

C'mon, yeah

The world's greatest

I am a mountain, I am a tall tree, oh

I am a swift wind sweepin' the country

I am a river down in the valley, oh

I am a vision and I can see clearly

If anybody asks you who I am

Just stand up tall

Look 'em in the face and say

I'm that star up in the sky

I'm that mountain peak up high

Hey, I made it

I'm the world's greatest

And I'm that little bit of hope

When my back's against the ropes

I can feel it

I'm the world's greatest

(The world's greatest, yo)

(The world's greatest ever)

I am a giant, I am an eagle, oh

I am a lion, down in the jungle

I am a marchin' band, I am the people, oh

I am a helping hand, I am a hero

If anybody asks you who I am

Just stand up tall

Look 'em in the face and say

I'm that star up in the sky

I'm that mountain peak up high

Hey, I made it

I'm the world's greatest

And I'm that little bit of hope

When my back's against the ropes

I can feel it

I'm the world's greatest

In the ring of life I'll reign love

And the world will notice a king

When all is darkest, I'll shine a light

And use a success you'll find in me

I'm that star up in the sky

I'm that mountain peak up high

Hey, I made it

I'm the world's greatest

And I'm that little bit of hope

When my back's against the ropes

I can feel it

I'm the world's greatest

I'm that star up in the sky

I'm that mountain peak up high

Hey, I made it

I'm the world's greatest

And I'm that little bit of hope

When my back's against the ropes

I can feel it

I'm the world's greatest

I'm that star up in the sky

I'm that mountain peak up high

Hey, I made it

I'm the world's greatest

And I'm that little bit of hope

When my back's against the ropes

I can feel it

I'm the world's greatest

1 - It's the greatest

Can you feel it

It's the greatest

Can you feel it
