And I want you to know we’re all hanging on.

They’ll come, and yes they’ll try

To break us down

But we know that we’ll never lose

If we keep moving forward

And don’t look back.

(chorus)

With the world at your feet

10? There’s no one you can’t beat,

Yes it can be done.

With the world at your feet

There’s no height you can’t reach. This could be the one.

15 It’s calling,

It’s calling you now,

You know it’s gonna be your time

‘Cause the world is at your feet,

Yeah, the world is at your feet.

20? Like stars in the sky,

Burning bright,

Seen by a billion eyes,

No, I want you to know We’re all turned your way.

(chorus)

25? It’s calling,

It’s calling you now,

You know it’s gonna be your time ‘Cause the world is at your feet,

Yeah, the world is at your feet.

30? With the world at your feet

There’s no one you can’t beat,
