Lyrics The Seekers

The Seekers

Sparrow Song

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.
