Top of the World

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
