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
