Lyrics
NEVER GOING TO CRY
[intro]
[verse 1]
At 11 my life had just begun
My cricket was pretty good HOWZAT
An atheletics sprinter running like the wind
And awesome aussie football with my mates
[chorus]
I was on top of the world
climbing so high I was never going to cry
[verse 2]
At 21, I was 10ft tall and bullet proof
driving my 74 HQ Monaro two, five, three
I survived the end of my relationship cause
I had a son that kept my heart from desintegrating
[chorus]
I was on top of the world
climbing so high I was never going to cry
[verse 3]
At 31, I was clean and done with
Free love, alcohol, and drugs
Ready to raise a family with one the I loved
Joining the church was like coming home
[chorus]
I was on top of the world
climbing so high I was never going to cry
verse 4]
At 41, I was busier than ever
Church on Sundays, work on Mondays
Weeks flew by as I grew older
An eternal optimist always moving forward
[chorus]
I was on top of the world
climbing so high I was never going to cry
[verse 5]
At 51, I had just met Rosi
trying to stay one step ahead
I turned my life up side down
Relocated to another town
on the other side of the world
[chorus]
I was on top of the world
climbing so high I was never going to cry
[verse 6]
At 61, I have been blessed
with the only sane partner ive ever had
many things have pained me in this life
but I can always see the light
[chorus]
I was on top of the world
climbing so high I was never going to cry
[Bridge]
The eternal optimist
ive always been
many trials come and go
but they are not important
The only truth is
how you deal with them
It hones your characterand
brings you to the surface
you cant hide your whole life
[Bridge 2]
so grow a pair
and cry your heart out
for those you hurt
as a result of your choices
good and bad
when you choose
you lose
its only then
you can make way
for the new
[outro 1]
I was on top of the world

[outro 2]
so grow a pair
and cry your heart out
for those you hurt
as a result of your choices

you can make way
for the new
