Lyrics
I wished I was smarter
Wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus
The way 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
Think I broke the wings of that little songbird
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 guide to
Teach me no lessons
I'd 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
Think I broke the wings of that little songbird
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world now
To the top of the world
I wished I'd have known you
Wished I'd have shown you
All of the things I
Was on the inside
But I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you'd come in in the morning
To whisper goodbye
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
Gonna grab a hold of that little songbird
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now
To the top of the world
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
Top of the world
Top of the world
Top of the world
To the top of the world
To dream the impossible dream
To write the unwritable wrong
To bear the unbearable sorrow
To ride where the brave did not go
To right the unrightable wrong
To love, you're enchased from afar
To try though your arms are too weary
To reach the unreachable star
This is my quest
To follow that star
No matter how hopeless
No matter how far
