harpeth rising - the sparrow lyrics

Loading...

i saw the sparrow from the sky
unto the earth he fell
and father time just walked on by
and promised not to tell

“my time is here,” a rich man cried
“but my cup is empty now”
to the shoeless gypsy
whose cup is overflowing

sing your praises, mark your souls
turn your ship around
your gods have all forsaken you
and left you here to drown
take my hand
we shall go on

i saw the prisoner chained with hate
unto the gallows bound
and all of us, we walked on by
and uttered not a sound

and the earth receivеd him perfectly
her arms wrappеd all around
and now we live by night
and curse the darkness
sing your praises, mark your souls
turn your ship around
your gods have all forsaken you
and left you on your own
take my hand
we shall not be alone

i saw the youth with eyes on fire
by desire he was claimed
and righteousness, his mighty steed
carried him through the flame

and the pilgrim he abandoned
but did not lose his way
who is wise now
and who has just been blinded?

i saw the armies gathering
underneath the sun
and the trumpets blew and the banners flew
all around the chosen ones

and they all vanished in the fog
and this is what i learned
i will contemplate my fate
until it’s time to take my turn
sing your praises, mark your souls
turn your ship around
your gods have all forsaken you
and left here to drown
take my hand
we can go on

i saw a woman who could not speak
who could not hear her name
you call me what you want to take
and leave me in my shame

and a man who wandered constantly
lookin’ for the key
to unlock the door to anywhere
that men are truly free

sing your praises, mark your souls
turn your ship around
your gods have all forsaken you
and left you on your own
take my hand
we shall not be alone
