Sparrow (From “American Song Contest”)

Ooh

Who clipped your wings and put you down?

Whoever 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

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

I feel it sifting in the wind

With every morning comes a new day to begin forever

To those who told me who I am should disappear

You haven't seen the view from way up here

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

Sparrow

Sparrow, oh-oh

You might be bending, but you're not breaking

You are a miracle in the making

So if you're falling, it's a change worth taking

On the horizon, the dawn is breaking

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

(Anymore, we don't have to stay)

Anymore (Anymore, we don't have to stay here anymore)

Sparrow

We can own the sky

There's a better world inside

We don't have to stay here anymore
