Sparrow - Jam in the Van, Branches

I feel like an echo waiting for a voice of its own

I am waiting in the darkness for a word

To take me home

I feel like a broken shadow that is long since overgrown

A skeleton that’s kept my memories

Written in it’s bones

But if Your eye is on the sparrow

If You’re worried about the dove

Have You heard all of my shouting?

Will You come down from above?

If Your eye is on the sparrow

If You’re worried about the bird

Did You get all of my letters?

Did You read my troubled words?

I feel like a dried up fountain waiting for rain to fall

To fill the cracks and holes and see if there is

Hope for me at all

I feel like an empty inkwell with nothing left to say

'Cause all the letters that I wrote to You have

All been thrown away

But if Your eye is on the sparrow

If You’re worried about the dove

Have You heard all of my shouting?

Will You come down from above?

If Your eye is on the sparrow

If You’re worried about the bird

Did You get all of my letters?

Did You read my troubled words?

But If Your eye is on the sparrow

If You’re worried about its wings

Then I’m a fool to think

That You’d ignore the worries that I sing

Rather if I hear an echo

And if the shadow’s there

Then You must be on the other end

To make these things appear

Oh, oh, ooh

Oh, oh, ooh

Oh, oh, ooh

Oh, oh, ooh

I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free

His eye’s on the sparrow and he watches over me

Oh, I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free

His eye’s on the sparrow and he watches over me
