I wished I was smarter
|
Wished I was stronger
|
I wished I loved Jesus
|
The way the 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
|
|
I think I broke the wings
|
Off that little songbird
|
And she's never gonna fly
|
To the top of the world Now
|
To the 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's never gonna be heard
|
Disappearing every day
|
Without so much as a word
|
Somehow
|
|
I think I broke the wings
|
Off a little songbird
|
And she's never gonna fly
|
To the top of the world
|
Now
|
To the top of the world
|
|
I wished I'd had known you
|
Wished I had shown you
|
All of the things I
|
Was on the side
|
But I'd pretend to be sleeping
|
When you'd come in in the morning
|
To whisper goodbye
|
Go 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?
|
|
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
|
