Lyrics

Sparrow

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I got wind beneath my wings

I think this time I'm gonna make it 'til morning

I got strength within my heart

I'm gonna sing for all the heroes who've fallen

Yeah, I'm gonna take the long, the long way home

Yes, I'm gonna take the world, the world by storm

We got magic in our bones

Just like the stars, we're gonna shine, bright and golden, ooh

We go bang down all the doors

Make sure we take back all the things that were stolen

Yeah, we're gonna take the long, the long way home, yeah

Oh, we're gonna take the world, the world by storm

See with the heart of a sparrow

Won't you tell me what arrow could ever bring you down? Mmm, yeah

Oh, the escape, it was narrow

But what a gift, the courage you found, mmm

See with the heart of a sparrow

Won't you tell me what arrow could ever bring you down?

Oh, the escape, it was narrow

But what a gift, the courage you found, yeah

I got stars within my soul

I think the dust the end is gonna finally settle, but hurry

Pure as rivers, strong as mountains

We spread love like the flowers give petals

Oh, we're gonna take the long, the long way home

Oh, we're gonna take the world, the world by storm, yeah

We're gonna take, take the long way home, that's right

Then we're gonna take the world, the world by storm

Yes, we're gonna take the whole wide world by storm
