Sparrow

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 to 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
