I wished I was smarter Wished I was stronger I wished I loved Jesus The way my wife does I wished it'd been easier Instead of any longer I wished I could have stood Where you would have been proud That won't happen now That won't happen now There's a whole lot of singing That's never gonna be heard Disappearing every day Without so much as a word somehow Think I broke the wings of that little songbird She's never gonna fly to the top of the world now Top of the world I don't have to answer any of these questions Don't have no God to teach me no lessons I'd come home in the evening Sit in my chair One night they called me for supper But I never got up I stayed right there in my chair There's a whole lot of singing That's never gonna be heard Disappearing every day Without so much as a word somehow Think I broke the wings of that little songbird She's never gonna fly to the top of the world now I wish I had known you Wish I had shown you All of the things I was on the inside But I'd pretend to be sleeping When you'd come in in the morning To whisper good-bye And go to work in the rain I don't know why Don't know why 'Cause everyone's singing We just wanna be heard Disappearing everyday Without so much as a word somehow Wanna grab a hold of that little songbird Take her for a ride to the top of the world, right now To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world ...
