about

Sparrows is an ethereal folk song outlining the nature of faith, hypocrisy, redemption, and divine love.

lyrics

Once upon a time,
Not so long ago,
I sprouted wings and soared over alabaster snow
On the mountains far below.

What made you look?
And what made you see
That all of that brokenness
Rested on me?

But love I don’t care
How you made it there
Cuz I’ve got your back, babe.
I’ve got your back, babe.

She didn’t hear me calling through the clouds.
Her eyes were looking down
On mockingbirds and doves
And the pyre she’s so proud of.

Bloodied and bare
She tangled me there.
A thorny pretender
with ice in her stare.

The chill and the heat
Where truth and grace meet -
You found your survival.
You found your survival.

Now empty feels like full
And love goes up and down and sideways
There was a day when only birds could fly
But I’ve got pixie dust and light

To brighten the dark,
Paint pain into art,
Take all our repentance
Right back to the start.

I’ve got wings for you too,
For the broken and bruised -
Cuz sparrows don’t need them.
Sparrows don’t need.
