I wish I was smarter, I wish I was stronger, I wish I loved Jesus the way my wife does. I wish it'd been easier instead of any longer. I wish I could've stood where you would've been proud, that won't happen now. It won't happen now.
'Cause there's a whole of singing that's never gonna be heard, disappearing every day without so much as a word some how. Think I broke the wings off that little song bird, she's never gonna fly to the top of the world, not 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 in the evening and sit in my chair. One night they called me for supper, but I never got up-I stayed right there, in my chair. And I pretend to be sleeping, when you come in the morning to whisper goodbye, go to work in the rain, I don't know why. I don't know why. 'Cause everyone is singing we just want to be heard, disappearing every day without so much as a word some how.
I wanna grab ahold of that little song bird, take her for a ride to the top of the world, right now. Top of the world.
*I have no doubt I rearranged the lyrics, but does anyone know who wrote this?*

Chicks Dixie - Top of the World Lyrics
I wished I was smarter
I wish I was stronger
I wished I loved Jesus
The way my wife does
I wish it had been easier
Instead of any longer
I wished I could have stood where you would have been proud
But that wont happen now
That wont happen now
Chorus:
There's a whole lot of singing thats never gonna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Think I broke the wings off that little song bird
She's never gonna fly to the top of the world right now
Top of the world
I dont have to answer any of these questions
Dont 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
Chorus
I wished I'd a known you
Wished I'd a shown you
All of the things I was on the inside
I'd pretend to be sleeping
When you come in in the morning
To whisper good-bye
Go to work in the rain
I dont know why
Dont know why
'Cause everyones singing
We just wanna be heard
Disappearing everyday without so much as a word somehow
Wanna grab a hold of that little song bird
Take her for a ride to the top of the world right now
To the top of the world
To the top of the world (6x)

I know they sang it, but did they write it?
