I wished I was smarter I wished I was stronger I wished I loved Jesus The way my wife does I wish it had been easier Instead of any longer I wished I could have stood Where you would have been proud But that won't happen now That won't happen now
There's a whole lot of singing That's never going to be heard Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow I think I broke the wings off that little song bird She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now To the top of the world
I don't have to answer any of your questions I don't have no God to teach me no lessons I 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 life of singing It's never ganna be heard Disappearing everyday without so much as a word right now Well I think I broke the wings of that little song bird That she's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now To the top of the world
I wished I'd a known you Wished I'd a shown you All of the things I was on the inside But I'd pretend to be sleeping When you come in the morning To whisper good-bye Go to work in the rain I don't know why Don't know why Because everone's singing We just wanna be heard Disappearing everyday Without so much as a word somehow Want to grab a hold of that little song bird 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 To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world To the top of the world
