Here, My Dear
I used to hear a sparrow singing, baby
oh, but 1 day as i went along
i didn't hear a song
but i know the sparrow, he sings (sparrow he sings)
sing on such a morning in spring
oh, sparrow, why don't you sing?
sing to me, oh sparrow, come around
come around, why don't you come around?
sing about a melody, oh, a melody
about the things you see
anything you wanna sing about
just sing it on out, now, sing it on out
let the world know what life's all about
sing little sparrow, sing
sing little sparrow, sing
ahhh, sing little sparrow, won't you sing to me?
and for the rest of oh, my world
they'll appreciate it, i know
everytime i'm feeling low, i know
i can always count on you
sing little sparrow
about the trouble you're in
places you've been
you can sing, i know it
don't you try to pretend
sing while you're here, sing your song, my dear
let me hear your soul
don't you be too cold
sing little sparrow, sing
i want you to sing little sparrow, sing
i want you to sing little sparrow, sing
a pretty birdsong


Sing to me
let me hear your agony
did you say man
sucking up the land?
sing to me of peace & love
sing to me of God above
sing sparrow, ah, sparrow sing
sing to me about man's inhumanity
& all the injustice you see
sing sparrow, sing little sparrow sing
sing about what to give
sing about how to live
i want you to sing the truth sparrow
oh little sparrow sing
sing to me of jealousy
ahhhh, sing what it's all about
sing it on out
SHOUT! little sparrow
ahhh, sing to me
sing me a, sing me a song
i wanna know what's wrong
little bird, tell me
ahhh, sparrow
sing, sparrow, 'cause i wanna know
you sweet, itty, bitty, pretty bird
sing, before you go
sing to me, Marvin Gaye
before you fly away
never stop singing sparrow
till we hear your song


sing your song
sing, sing your song
on & on & on & on &
on & on & on & on &


I remember...a bird.
