diane taraz - the sparrow lyrics
[verse 1]
i used to fancy myself as a sparrow on the wing
playing games in the freedom of the wind
i used to fancy myself as a minstrel who would sing
playing tunes on a gypsy mandolin
[chorus]
but to live like the sparrow you must fly or face the flame
you must know your weakness like you know your name
and to live like the poet and roam from town to town
you must learn to be lost enough to be found
[verse 2]
i used to fill up my days with four+leaf clover dreams
casting lots on the crossroads of time
i used to build my house from fate clothed with words alone
not knowing i was naked in my rhyme
[chorus]
for to live like the sparrow you must fly or face the flame
you must know your weakness like you know your name
and to live like a poet and roam from town to town
you must learn to be lost enough to be found
[whistle solo]
[verse 3]
i used to laugh at my loves as they turned from young to old
for the weakness in their hearts and in their ways
but that dark sky above as it turns from black to gold
trades the homing instinct for a lonely grave
[chorus]
for to live like the sparrow you must fly or face the flame
you must know your weakness like you know your name
and to live like a poet and roam from town to town
you must learn to be lost enough to be found
you must learn to be lost enough to be found
