Top of the World

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
That won't happen now, that won't happen now

There's a whole lot of singing that's 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 don't have to answer any of these questions
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 lot of singing that 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

I wished I'd known you, wished I'd shown you
All of the things I was on the inside
I pretend to be sleeping, when you come in in the morning
To whisper good-bye, go to work in the rain
I don't know why, don't know why

Cause everyone's singing, we just wanna be heard
Disappearing every day 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

Woah, woah
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
