I don’t know about you but I’m standing in the winner’s circle
Maybe the outcome will change a little
Maybe you’ll find you don’t want to be here either
Or you haven’t been here all along
The ladder to the top is made out of people
Take the same ladder down that you took to go up

Not everyone fits trying to stand in the winner’s circle
I tripped over the ones that were already there
I tripped over the newcomers who came up with too much haste
Everyone thought that this was a higher place of achievement
The ladder to the top is made out of people
Take the same ladder down that you took to go up

From the moment I was born I wanted to stand in the winner’s circle
When I got there I knew I was happy
When I got there I knew I was free
There are lots of things I know that aren’t true
The ladder to the top is made out of people
Take the same ladder down that you took to go up

Not everyone will always be able to stand in the winner’s circle
For everything there is a season
For after all, you cannot live forever
Did you really think you were all that special?
The ladder to the top is made out of people
Take the same ladder down that you took to go up

I’m on top of the world

I’m not so sure I want to stand in the winner’s circle
Surely it was all fun for a while
Surely I’ve been better than everyone else
But what’s the point?
The ladder to the top is made out of people
Take the same ladder down that you took to go up

I fell off
