Lyrics
Song to a Sparrow (Barnard)
Softly as sunlight calls the morning sky
A tiny raindrop, a tear from heaven
Today you opened your eyes
Worlds forever change
Wherever winds lead you, on their way to nowhere
May your heart always be light
Angels? wings take you over mountains
May your dreams reach through the sky
Just before morning, no turning back my friend
May winds be gentle, may rains be gentle
When the air takes you come back safely again
