[ve:3.00]
[00:01.39] I wished I was smarter
[00:05.55] Wished I was stronger
[00:10.60] I wished I loved Jesus
[00:15.84] The way my wife does
[00:19.74] I wished it'd been easier
[00:25.25] Instead of any longer
[00:30.32] I wished I could have stood
[00:33.12] Where you would have been proud
[00:35.84] That won't happen now
[00:38.15] That won't happen now
[00:41.14] There's a whole lot of singing
[00:43.69] That's never gonna be heard
[00:46.35] Disappearing every day
[00:48.60] Without so much as a word somehow
[00:56.77] Think I broke the wings of that little songbird
[01:01.52] She's never gonna fly to the top of the world now
[01:10.61] Top of the world
[01:15.35] I don't have to answer any of these questions
[01:25.29] Don't have no God to teach me no lessons
[01:34.61] I'd come home in the evening
[01:40.11] Sit in my chair
[01:44.46] One night they called me for supper
[01:47.25] But I never got up
[01:49.89] I stayed right there in my chair
[01:55.48] There's a whole lot of singing
[01:57.98] That's never gonna be heard
[02:00.60] Disappearing every day
[02:02.78] Without so much as a word somehow
[02:10.94] Think I broke the wings of that little songbird
[02:15.62] She's never gonna fly to the top of the world now
[02:29.43] I wish I had known you
[02:34.51] Wish I had shown you
[02:39.39] All of the things I was on the inside
[02:48.67] But I'd pretend to be sleeping
[02:53.61] When you'd come in in the morning
[02:59.04] To whisper good-bye
[03:02.55] And go to work in the rain
[03:05.23] I don't know why
[03:06.38] Don't know why
[03:10.27] 'Cause everyone's singing
[03:12.12] We just wanna be heard
[03:14.74] Disappearing everyday
[03:16.90] Without so much as a word somehow
[03:24.90] Wanna grab a hold of that little songbird
[03:29.60] Take her for a ride to the top of the world, right now
[04:22.28] To the top of the world
[04:24.85] To the top of the world
[04:26.96] To the top of the world
[04:29.51] To the top of the world
[04:32.38] ...
