lyrics

Fly down little sparrow,
fly down unto me.
Together we'll mount up on wings
and be free.
The higher you fly,
the more you will see.
That love can't be hindered,
that it must be free.

They issued their warrant,
saying you were the one.
That you killed the stranger,
that you shot the gun.

But the night that was questioned,
you lay by my side.
You were nowhere near him
the night that he died.

You fled through the mountains
where the wild beast roams
you kept up your vigil
away from your home
and now I am weary
from waiting so long.
Fly down, little Sparrow,
to me and your home.

The heart of the Sparrow is small,
but it's great. And it will live on,
despite all the hate.
And though it may flutter,
it never shall die.
For, the love that it harbors
will cause it to fly.

The truth's been found out
that you're not the one.
That you were not there,
that you had no gun.
And together we flew
to heights far above
all the hate of this world
that can't touch true love.
