[Verse 1]
You never take the easy way
The wind is blowing straight into your face
You never ever close your eyes
For any trouble that may cross your way

There's no risk that you're not taking
Not a mountain that's too high
Spread your wings, you're gonna make it
To the best time of your life

[Chorus]
Don't stop at the top (don't stop at the top)
Touch the sky before you fall (touch the sky)
Don't stop at the top (don't stop at the top)
Touch the sky before you drop (touch the sky)

[Verse 2]
You never make a compromise
Your will has got the power that won't break
You never say-a never
To a challenge that will come along the way

There's no risk that you're not taking
Not a mountain that's too high
Spread your wings, you're gonna make it
To the best time of your life

[Chorus]
Don't stop at the top (don't stop at the top)
Touch the sky before you fall (touch the sky)
Don't stop at the top (don't stop at the top)
Touch the sky before you drop (touch the sky)

[Bridge]
Never stop, never stop
Don't stop at the top

Never stop
Never stop
Never stop
Don't stop at the top

[Chorus]
Don't stop at the top (don't stop at the top)
Touch the sky before you fall (touch the sky)
Don't stop at the top (don't stop at the top)
Touch the sky before you drop (touch the sky)

Don't stop at the top (don't stop at the top)
Touch the sky before you fall (touch the sky)
Don't stop at the top (don't stop at the top)
Touch the sky before you drop (touch the sky)

Don't stop at the top (don't stop at the top)
Touch the sky before you fall (touch the sky)
Don't stop at the top (don't stop at the top)
Touch the sky before you drop (touch the sky)

Don't stop at the top
