Top of the World

I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger

I wished I love Jesus, the way my wife does

I wish it had been easier, instead of any longer

I wished I could have stood where you would have been proud

That won't happen now, that won't happen now



[chorus]

There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard

Disappearing everyday 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



[chorus]

There's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard

Disappearing everyday 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 wished I'd a known you, wished I'd a shown you

All of the things I was on the inside

I'd pretend to be sleeping, when you come in in the morning

To whisper good-bye, 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

Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird

Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now

Whoa, whoa

To the 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

To the top of the world, to the top of the world, to the top of the world
