I wished I was smarter, I wished I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus the way my ma does
I wished it had been easier instead of any longer
I wish I could have stood where you would have been proud
But that won't happen now, that won't happen now
I don't have to answer any of these questions
Don't have no God 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
Now there's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day without so much as a word
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 loved Jesus the way my ma does
I wished it had been easier instead of any longer
I wish I could have stood where you would have been proud
But that won't happen now, that won't happen now
I don't have to answer any of these questions
Don't have no God 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
Now there's a whole lot of singing that's never gonna be heard
Disappearing every day without so much as a word
I think I broke the wings off that little songbird
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world now
