Sparrow Song

(album: The Seekers - 1975)

Fly little sparrow
High above the clouds
Looking for a place to
Lay your weary body down

Fly on little sparrow
Northward to the sun
Wonder if you'll ever
Find yourself a home

Tell me, little sparrow
Tell me, what do you see?
I see a concrete canyon
Without a single tree
And it goes winding on for ever
Where once proud rivers ran
Oh I hope that I can find
One truly happy man

Fly little sparrow
High above the clouds
Looking for a place to
Lay your weary body down

I seek a land of far horizons
Of gentle winds and summer rain
Where the children are not hungry
And they've put an end to pain
And I will sing a song of freedom
In the arms of a golden tree
Is there such a place on earth
For a tiny bird like me?

Fly little sparrow
High above the clouds
Looking for a place to
Lay your weary body down

Yes and fly on little sparrow
Northward to the sun
Wonder if you'll ever
Find yourself a home
