I wished I was smarter
Wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus

The way the my wife does

I wished it'd 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


I think I broke the wings
Off that little songbird
And she's never gonna fly

To the top of the world Now
To the 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 a little songbird
And she's never gonna fly

To the top of the world
Now
To the top of the world


I wished I'd had known you
Wished I had shown you

All of the things I
Was on the side
But I'd pretend to be sleeping

When you'd come in in the morning
To whisper goodbye
Go 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?


Gonna grab a hold
Of that little songbird
And take her for a ride

To the top of the world
Right now
To the top of the world
