Oh how shall a sparrow fly
Or have the heart to sing?
If all she can do is cry
About her broken wings?

Oh how shall a sparrow fly
If weather sleeps in vain?
Or keep her feathers dry
Under clouds of death and rain?

Oh how shall a sparrow fly
And find her one true love?
If all she can do is lie around
And dream of white tail doves?

Oh how shall a sparrow fly
Or have the heart to sing?
If all she can do is cry
About her broken wings?
