World's Greatest

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

It's the world's greatest, y'all

It's the world's greatest

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 ask 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

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 helpin' hand

I am a hero

If anybody ask 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

Where there is darkness I'll shine a light

And the mirrors of success reflect 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

I saw the light

At the end of a tunnel

Believe in the pot of gold

At the end of the rainbow

And faith was right there

To pull me through, yeah

Used to be locked doors

Now I can just walk on through

It's the greatest

Can you feel it?

Say the greatest

Can you feel it?

I saw the light

At the end of a tunnel

Believe in the pot of gold

At the end of the rainbow

And faith was right there

To pull me through, yeah

Used to be locked doors

Now I can just walk on through

Hey

Uh hey

It's the greatest

I'm that star up in the sky

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
