Intro

Verse

I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger

I wished I'd loved jesus, The way 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

And I think I broke the wings off that little songbird

She's never gonna fly to the top of the world, now

To the top of the world

Verse

I don't have to answer ,Any of these questions

Don't have no guide 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

And I think I broke the wings off that little songbird

She's never gonna fly to the top of the world, now

To the top of the world, Oooh ooohh

Verse

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

All of the things I was on the inside

But I'd pretend to be sleeping

When you'd come in in the morning

To whisper goodbye and go work at the rain

I don't know why, Don't know why

Chorus

Cause everyone's singing we just wanna be heard

Disappearing every day, without so much as a word, Somehow

And I wanna 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

Whoaaaa ohhhhhhhhh

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
