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
