The Sparrow
I wish that I could say
I had no enemies
But that's a lie
I wish that I could say
That I succeed at everything I try
I wish that I could say
That I could look the Face of Love straight in the eye
And say I'd done my best
That I've always done my best
But I waste time crying
Feeling sorry for myself til I can't breathe
Stay up nights thinkin bout all that I've done wrong
Til I can't sleep
And I know one day it'll all go the way of all flesh
And I'll be free
In the meantime
I forgive you
But I don't know how to move
Maybe there's a little bit of longing in every song I love
For the world to be not what it is
But like the world I dream of
Where innocence is sacred
And people try to build each other up
Everybody has enough
And everyone is loved
But I waste time crying
Feeling sorry for myself til I can't breathe
Stay up nights thinkin bout all that I've done wrong
Til I can't sleep
And I know one day it'll all go
The way of all flesh
And I'll be free
In the meantime
I forgive you
But I don't know how to move
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He's watching me
His eye is on the sparrow, so I know He's watching me
And it'll all go the way of all flesh
And I'll be free
His eye is on the sparrow, so I know He's watching me
I had no enemies
But that's a lie
I wish that I could say
That I succeed at everything I try
I wish that I could say
That I could look the Face of Love straight in the eye
And say I'd done my best
That I've always done my best
But I waste time crying
Feeling sorry for myself til I can't breathe
Stay up nights thinkin bout all that I've done wrong
Til I can't sleep
And I know one day it'll all go the way of all flesh
And I'll be free
In the meantime
I forgive you
But I don't know how to move
Maybe there's a little bit of longing in every song I love
For the world to be not what it is
But like the world I dream of
Where innocence is sacred
And people try to build each other up
Everybody has enough
And everyone is loved
But I waste time crying
Feeling sorry for myself til I can't breathe
Stay up nights thinkin bout all that I've done wrong
Til I can't sleep
And I know one day it'll all go
The way of all flesh
And I'll be free
In the meantime
I forgive you
But I don't know how to move
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He's watching me
His eye is on the sparrow, so I know He's watching me
And it'll all go the way of all flesh
And I'll be free
His eye is on the sparrow, so I know He's watching me
