I used to carry this big old world On my shoulders and back I used to lie inside my room Wondering where I′m at
I felt a chill running through my veins And wondered, would I be saved? I felt the ice building in my soul Would it melt away?
He′s a warm breeze Breathing life into me He′s the sunlight Shining down on me
I used to worry my life away Counting every dime Shutting out the ones I loved Never finding the time
And then one day I was overcome By loneliness and dispair And deep inside I thought I heard "Lean on me, I′m here"
He′s a warm breeze Breathing life into me He′s the sunlight Shining down on me I pulled the burden from off my back And tossed it into the wind And stretched my arms toward the sky And let my life begin
And like a tree, I have measured up Best when I′ve been cut down And like a tree, I can touch the sky With my feet on the ground
He′s a warm breeze Breathing life into me He′s the sunlight Shining down on me
He′s a warm breeze Breathing life into me He′s the sunlight Shining down on me, yeah Shining down on me Shining down, shining down Shining down on me
[Chorus 1] I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly For the day I die, I′mma touch the sky Gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly For the day I die, I′mma touch the sky
Back when they thought pink polo′s would hurt the Roc, Before Cam got the shit to pop, the doors was closed. I felt like Bad Boy′s street team, I couldn′t work the Lox (locks). Now let′s go. Take ′em back to the plan... Me and my momma hopped in the U-Haul van. Any pessimists I ain′t talked to them, Plus, I ain′t have no phone in my apartment. Let′s take ′em back to the club. Least about an hour I would stand on line, I just wanted to dance. I went to Jacob an hour after I got my advance. I just wanted to shine. Jay′s favorite line: "Dog, in due time" Now he look at me, like "Damn, dog, you where I am" A hip hop legend. I think I died in an accident, cause this must be heaven.
[Chorus]
[Hook 1 (P. Diddy)] Now let′s take ′em high-igh-igh-igh-igh-igh la la la la la la la (Top of the world, baby. T-Top of the world) Now let′s take ′em high-igh-igh-igh-igh-igh la la la la la la la (Top of the world, baby. T-Top of the world)
Back when Gucci was the shit to rock, Back when Slick Rick got the shit to pop, I′d do anything to say "I got it". Damn, them new loafers hurt my pocket. Before anybody wanted K-West beats, Me and my girl split the buffet at KFC. Dog, I was having nervous breakdowns, Like "Damn, these niggas that much better than me?" Baby, I′m going on an airplane, And I don′t know if I′ll be back again. Sure enough, I sent the plane tickets, But when she came to kick it, things became different. Any girl I cheated on, sheets I skeeted on. I couldn′t keep it home, I thought I needed a Nia Long. I′m trying to write my wrongs, But it′s funny these same wrongs helped me write this song. Now,
[Chorus 2] I gotta testify, come up in the spot looking extra fly For the day you die, You gonna touch the sky (You gonna touch the sky babygirl!) Testify, come up in the spot Looking extra fly For the day you die, You gonna touch the sky
[Hook 2 (P. Diddy)] (We back at home, baby) Sky high I′m, I′m sky high I′m, I′m sky high I′m, I′m sky high I′m, I′m sky high I′m, I′m sky high Sky, Sky high I′m, I′m sky high Yeah! (Keep it rollin) (Feels good to be home, baby! Feels good to be home!)
Let me love, let me love, love them for You. May I be, may I be, may I be true. Can I find, can I find, can I find You, and show them who You are. You′re the One, You′re the One, One I turn to. Want to be, want to be, want to be true. Nothing left, nothing left, left to prove, But show them who You are. Chorus: I live for You, there′s nothing You cannot do. You lift me up high, You spread my wings to touch the sky. You are there, You are there, when I′m against the wall, You can make the mighty, mighty, mighty fall. You′re the One, the One, the One who made it all, I see you every where. You′re the One, the One who made the blind to see, You′re the One, the One who walked across the sea. You′re the One, the One who died to set me free, I′ll meet You in the air.
