[00:23.18]I wished I was smarter
[00:28.31]I wished I was stronger
[00:33.53]I wished I loved Jesus
[00:39.46]The way my wife does
[00:44.79]I wish it had been easier
[00:49.44]Instead of any longer
[00:54.81]I wished I could have stood
[00:58.01]Where you would have been proud
[01:00.69]But that won't happen now
[01:03.78]That won't happen now
[01:05.42]
[01:07.26]There's a whole lot of singing
[01:09.64]That's never going to be heard
[01:12.72]Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
[01:23.57]I think I broke the wings off that little song bird
[01:28.44]She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
[01:37.99]To the top of the world
[01:43.24]
[01:43.49]I don't have to answer any of your questions
[01:53.69]I don't have no God to teach me no lessons
[02:04.55]I come home in the evening
[02:10.68]Sit in my chair
[02:15.46]One night they called me for supper
[02:18.79]But I never got up
[02:21.64]I stayed right there in my chair
[02:26.52]
[02:28.09]There's a whole life of singing
[02:30.63]It's never ganna be heard
[02:33.52]Disappearing everyday without so much as a word right now
[02:44.56]Well I think I broke the wings of that little song bird
[02:49.85]That she's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
[02:58.88]To the top of the world
[03:11.55]
[03:15.46]I wished I'd a known you
[03:20.98]Wished I'd a shown you
[03:26.40]All of the things I was on the inside
[03:35.49]But I'd pretend to be sleeping
[03:41.84]When you come in the morning
[03:47.38]To whisper good-bye
[03:49.77]Go to work in the rain
[03:52.28]I don't know why
[03:55.07]Don't know why
[03:59.20]Because everone's singing
[04:01.69]We just wanna be heard
[04:04.13]Disappearing everyday
[04:06.76]Without so much as a word somehow
[04:14.74]Want to grab a hold of that little song bird
[04:20.36]Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now
[04:29.63]To the top of the world
[04:45.50]To the top of the world
[04:48.15]To the top of the world
[04:50.59]To the top of the world
[04:53.27]To the top of the world
[04:56.01]To the top of the world
[04:58.75]To the top of the world
[05:01.31]To the top of the world
