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 wont happen now That wont happen now Theres a whole lot of singing thats never gonna be heard Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow Think I broke the wings off that little song bird Shes never gonna fly to the top of the world right now Top of the world I dont have to answer any of these questions Dont have no God to teach me no lessons I come home in the eveing Sit in my chair One night they called me for supper But I never got up I stayed right there in my chair Theres a whole lot of singing thats never gonna be heard Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow Think I broke the wings off that little song bird Shes never gonna fly to the top of the world right now Top of the world I wished Id a known you Wished Id a shown you All of the things I was on the inside Id pretend to be sleeping When you come in in the morning To whisper good-bye Go to work in the rain I dont know why Dont know why cause everones singing We just wanna be heard Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow Wanna 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
