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
