about

A rewrite of an old folk song, If I were a Little Sparrow speaks of the hurt after being left by your lover and the escape for freedom.

lyrics

Verse
If I were a little sparrow I would fly south
I would roll in my mama’s arms and rid me of this hell
Chorus
But I’m not a little sparrow and neither can I fly
If I loved you better would you still be mine

If I were a little sparrow here’s what I would do
I would wrap you in my arms and fly away with you
But I’m not a little sparrow still I loved you more than true,
I loved you more than needed but you needed someone new

If I were a little sparrow I’d fly away o’er the hills
And If I couldn’t find you, I’d pray someday I will
But I’m not a little sparrow and I cannot fly home
And now that you have left me there’s no skin to my bone

If I were a little sparrow I’d warn all not to be fooled
By the eyes that say they love you ‘cos they don’t love you at all
So flutter in flight little sparrow and take off into the sky
And if you see my loved one would you tell them I am alive
Tell them I am alive,
Tell them I am alive,
I’m still breathing ,
I’m still breathing,
I’m still breathing .
