Golden Sparrow

GOLDEN SPARROW

On the back of a golden sparrow

High above Mt. Kilimanjaro

I learned how to fly

How to close my eyes

And breathe out loud

On the back of a golden sparrow

High above Mt. Kilimanjaro

I learned how to fly

How to close my eyes

And breathe out loud

You’re the dust in the sun

I’m the sun in your eyes

I’m your only light

Your cup of beans

And your bag of rice

Will never be

My real price

Way down here

For 7 long years

7 into 8

7 into 8

I turn next year

I know someday

Someday I’ll be

Someone everyone

Will look up to and see

I know someday

Someday I’ll be

Someone everyone

Will look up to and see

On the back of a golden sparrow

High above Mt. Kilimanjaro

I learned how to fly

How to close my eyes

And breathe out loud

On the back of a golden sparrow

High above Mt. Kilimanjaro

I learned how to fly

How to close my eyes

And breathe out loud
