Top Of The World
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I wished i was smarter
Wished i was stronger
I wished i loved jesus
The way the 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
I think i broke the wings
Off that little songbird
And 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 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
There's a whole lot of singing
That's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day
Without so much as a word
Somehow
I think i broke the wings
Off a little songbird
And she's never gonna fly
To the top of the world
Now
To the top of the world
I wished i'd had known you
Wished i had shown you
All of the things i
Was on the side
But i'd pretend to be sleeping
When you'd come in in the morning
To whisper goodbye
Go 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
And take her for a ride
To the top of the world
Right now
To the top of the world
