Sparrow Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh

[Verse 1]
Who clipped your wings and put you down?
Who ever thought one word could tie you to the ground?
To those who told you what you are ain't good enough
Let 'em know that you will rise above
Let 'em know that you will rise above

[Chorus]
Sparrow, up and fly away
There's a brighter day
We don't have to stay here anymore
Little sparrow, we can own the sky
There's a better world inside
We don't have to stay here anymore

[Verse 2]
I feel it shifting in the wind
With every morning comes a nеw day to begin forever
To thosе who told me who I am should disappear
You haven't seen the view from way up here

[Chorus]
Sparrow, up and fly away
There's a brighter day
We don't have to stay here anymore
Little sparrow, we can own the sky
There's a better world inside
We don't have to stay here anymore
[Post-Chorus]
Sparrow
Sparrow

[Bridge]
You might be bending, but you're not breaking
You are a miracle in the making
So if we fall, it's a change worth taking
On the horizon, the dawn is breaking

[Chorus]
Sparrow, up and fly away
There's a brighter day
We don't have to stay here anymore
Little sparrow, we can own the sky
There's a better world inside
We don't have to stay here anymore

[Post-Chorus]
(Anymore, we don't have to stay)
Anymore (Anymore, we don't have to stay here anymore)

[Outro]
Sparrow, we can own the sky
There's a better world inside
We don't have to stay here anymore

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
