I wished I was smarter

I wish 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



Chorus:

There's 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

She's 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 evening

Sit in my chair

One night they called me for supper

But I never got up

I stayed right there in my chair



Chorus



I wished I'd a known you

Wished I'd a shown you

All of the things I was on the inside

I'd 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 everyones 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 (6x)
