Orphan - Acoustic

How does a sparrow know more than I?
 When the mother is gone, it learns how to fly
 With no direction, its wings in the wind
 How does a bird know more than I?
 ♪
 How does the winter know to hold on
 When it's scared of its shadow and flowers are gone?
 The leaves all lay sleepin', prayin' to hear spring-time songs
 How does the winter know to hold on?
 ♪
 Nobody told me what I should do
 When the world starts to rumble and shake under you
 How does an orphan find its way home?
 Reach out with no hand to hold
 How do I make it alone?
 ♪
 What keeps a river windin' that way?
 Is it slave to the ocean, or a wild runaway?
 Does it shed a tear for all who have drowned in its wake?
 What keeps a river windin' that way?
 ♪
 Nobody told me what I should do
 When the world starts to rumble and shake under you
 How does an orphan find its way home?
 Reach out with no hand to hold
 How do I make it alone?

 How
 ♪
 Nobody told me what I should do
 When the world starts to rumble and shake under you
 I am an orphan a long way from home
 And I reach out with no hand to hold
 How do I make it alone?
 How does a sparrow know more than I?
 When the mother is gone, it learns how to fly
