 I wish I was smarter
 I wished I was stronger
 I wished I loved  Jesus
 The way my wife  does
 I wished any of it were  easier
 Instead of any  longer
 I wish I could have stood
 Where you would have 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
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
I  wished I would have known  you
 Wished I would have 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 goodbye
 Go to work in the rain
 I don't know why
 Don't know why
 Cause everybody's  singing
 We just want  to be heard
 Disappearing  everyday
 Without so much  as a word
   -stop-
 Some how
Wanna  grab a hold of that  little song bird
Take  her for a ride to the top  of the world
  D - stop -
 Right now
 
 Oh,  oh...
 To the top of the world
 To the top of the world
 To the top of the world
 To the top of the world
