"Top of the World"
I wished I was smarter
I 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 off the little songbird
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
Sit in my chair
One night they call me for supper
But I never got up
I stayed right there in my chair
Chorus
I wished I’d’ve known you
I wished I’d’ve shown you
All of the things I
Was on the inside
I pretend to be sleeping
When you 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 singin’
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word
Somehow
Wanna grab ahold of that little songbird
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now
Whoa, whoa
To the top of the world 8x
