It's my time, and right now, I'm going for it
It's my turn to take on the world
And right now, the sky is my only limit
Yeah, I'm ready to take on the world

It's my time, and right now, I'm moving forward
It's my turn to reach for the stars
And right now, it's cold, but I'm getting warmer
It's my turn to live on the edge
It's high time like dark days without an order
Yeah, I'm ready to take on the world

Oh, I'm a satellite
Because I'm over the moon tonight
Oh, feeling so alive
Cause I'm on top of the world tonight

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on top of the world tonight
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on top of the world tonight
Oh, feeling so alive
Cause I'm on top of the world tonight

It's my time to burn like a wildfire
It's my turn to rise to the top
I'm so stoked, with flames keep on getting higher
And I'm ready to take on the world
It's my time, and right now, I'm going for it
Yeah, I'm ready to take on the world

Oh, I'm a satellite
Because I'm over the moon tonight
Oh, feeling so alive
Cause I'm on top of the world tonight

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on top of the world tonight
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on top of the world tonight
Oh, feeling so alive
Cause I'm on top of the world tonight

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on top of the world tonight
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on top of the world tonight
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on top of the world tonight
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on top of the world tonight

Oh, I'm a satellite
Because I'm over the moon tonight
Oh, feeling so alive
Cause I'm on top of the world tonight

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on top of the world tonight
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on top of the world tonight
Oh, feeling so alive
Cause I'm on top of the world tonight

Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on top of the world tonight
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on top of the world tonight
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on top of the world tonight
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
I'm on top of the world tonight

Originally making songs in his basement for his friends as Sky Sailing, Adam Young then discovered synth music and became Owl City, releasing two relatively unpopular albums Maybe I’m Dreaming and Of June before making his hit single “Fireflies” which made his third album as Owl City, Ocean Eyes a hit.

After this worldwide success he put on two more albums, All Things Bright and Beautiful in 2011, and The Midsummer Station in 2012. In 2014 he released an EP, Ultraviolet, composed of 4 songs whom one would appear on his following album, Mobile Orchestra. Retiring from Owl City in 2016 to focus on Adam Young Scores, a new project made of orchestral soundtracks about historic events, he reappeared in 2017 to tease his upcoming new album Cinematic, with the release of a series of three EPs, called Reel 1 , 2 and 3.
