I wished I was smarter I wished I was stronger I wished I loved Jesus the way my wife does I wished it had been easier instead of any longer I wished I could've stood where you would've been pround but that won't happen now that won't happen now
There is a whole lot of singin' that's never gonna be heard Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow I think I broke the wings off that little songbird She's never gonna fly to the top of the world now
I don't have to answer any of these questions I don't have no God to teach me no lessons I come home in the evening and sit in my chair One night they called me for supper But I never got up I just stayed right there... in my chair
There is a whole lot of singin' that's never gonna be heard Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow I think I broke the wings off that little songbird She's never gonna fly to the top of the world now
I wished I'de have known you I wished I'de have shown you all of the things I was on the inside but I pretend to be sleepin' when you come in in the morning to whisper goodbye, go to work in the rain I don't know why, I don't know why
But everybody's singin' we justt want to be heard Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow I wanna grab hold of that little songbird Take her for a ride to the top of the world now
