On sparrow wings we take flight.
On the dusty roads of life.
Just one blink and the past is gone.
Just to be brought up again on some other poor child...

On sparrow wings we take flight.
Through the mirror that holds all time.
Seven years bad luck is better than a life on the run.
By the broken shards that hold our lives...

On sparrow wings we go.
Never to die and never to let go.
What a clever little lie we call our lives.
Saving the souls of our own.
Worse than hell alone.
May you be blessed with sparrow wings...

On sparrow wings we go.
To a future of our own.
What a little lie we live.
But it's truly all we have.
Going round saving lives...

But alas, on sparrow wings we die.
But don't you fret we'll be back.
Save our good-byes for another world gone by...

On sparrow wings we go.
Waiting and watching.
For anything could happen...
For my dear Aunt Bonnie. Who would tell me all kinds of stories about boys and girls with wings...
