I wished I was smarter
Wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus
The way the my wife doesI 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 nowThere's a whole lot of sinners
That ain't gonna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
SomehowI'm afraid I broke the wings
Off that little songbird
And she's never gonna fly
To the top of the world How
To the top of the worldI don't have to answer
Any of these questions
Don't have no guide to
Teach me no lessonsI 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 chairThere's a whole lot of singing
That ain't gonna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
SomehowI think I broke the wings
Off a little songbird
And she's never gonna fly
To the top of the world
How
To the top of the worldI wished I'd had known you
Wished I had shown you
All of the things I
Was all these are
But I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you'd come in in the morning
To whisper goodbye
Go work at the rain
I don't know why
Don't know whyCause everyone's singing
We just want to be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
So how?Gonna 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
