I wished I was smarter

I wished I was stronger

I wished I loved Jesus

The way my wife does

I wished it would've been easier

Instead of any longer

I wished I could've stood

Where you would've 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 off that little songbird

She's never gonna fly to the top of the world

Right 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 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

I think I broke the wings off that little songbird

She's never gonna fly to the top of the world

Right now

I wished I'd had known you

Wished I had shown you

All of the things I

Was on the inside

I'd pretend to be sleeping

When you'd come in the morning

To whisper goodbye

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 every day

Without so much as a word somehow

Wanna grab a hold off that little songbird

Take her for a ride to the top of the world

Right now

Oh oh

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
