Sparrow
I see a bird in a dark sky flying
When the wind push you down
You just keep on rising
Feels like we're a long, long, long way from home
But I'll keep on, keep on singing this old sparrow song
Oh brother the water is rising on me
Oh sister my sorrow has filled up the sea
Thought times they were changing
I dreamed I was free
But brother the water is still rising on me
The weight of this mountain's too heavy for me
Oh Father this mountain's too heavy for me
But I'll keep on walking till I rest my feet
Until then the water's still rising on me
Oh brother the water is rising on me
Oh sister my sorrow has filled up the sea
Thought times they were changing
One day I'll be free
But brother the water's still rising on me
I flew like the sparrow into the sun
I marched with the others till my race was done
I saw all the children and dreamed they were free
And all of their troubles were swept by the sea
And all of their troubles were swept by the sea
When the wind push you down
You just keep on rising
Feels like we're a long, long, long way from home
But I'll keep on, keep on singing this old sparrow song
Oh brother the water is rising on me
Oh sister my sorrow has filled up the sea
Thought times they were changing
I dreamed I was free
But brother the water is still rising on me
The weight of this mountain's too heavy for me
Oh Father this mountain's too heavy for me
But I'll keep on walking till I rest my feet
Until then the water's still rising on me
Oh brother the water is rising on me
Oh sister my sorrow has filled up the sea
Thought times they were changing
One day I'll be free
But brother the water's still rising on me
I flew like the sparrow into the sun
I marched with the others till my race was done
I saw all the children and dreamed they were free
And all of their troubles were swept by the sea
And all of their troubles were swept by the sea
