A Sparrow's Song

O Little bird I hear your song You’ve been overlooked For far too long We’ve met before On the ancient road And we share a tale And a pain Both new and old They say you’re small Not worth a thing But I know the truth I’ve heard you sing And face to face I’ve felt it too When they see themselves And their hate And they don’t see you And so we sing A sparrow’s song For those who were told They don’t belong A call of love for the Days gone wrong Don’t fear little bird Just fly, fly on Too many times Too many years You forged on ahead Held back your tears While you’d abide By the hawks and crows Because you believe In the dream We all should have a home And so we sing A sparrow’s song For those who were told They don’t belong A call of love for the Days gone wrong Don’t fear little bird Just fly, fly on Ani tzippur dror m’haderech h’atikah Shar melibi el halo nodah Im koli ha’tzair nishmati nitzeret Shire hadrorim bayamim rechokim I’m just a sparrow From the ancient road I sing from my heart Into the vast unknown With my little voice My spirit soars In the Sparrow Songs Of long ago O little bird I hear your song You’ve been overlooked For far too long We’ve met before On the ancient road And we share a tale And a pain Both new and old And so we sing A sparrow’s song For those who were told They don’t belong A call of love for the Days gone wrong Don’t fear little bird Just fly, fly on
