Come Sunday m orning everyo ne will leave the h ouse dressed for the S unday service
And th rough the st reets I used to kn ow they g o to m eet their fr iends
And so they ta ke the family se at
Father pr ays so earnestl y forgetting al l around him
W hen Elean or sings in the ch oir it's like a la rk in summer
T he sparrow s ings the sparrow fl ies
With mighty w ings he reaches
A s high as a ny ot her bi rd
He shall inh erit a ll the E arth
T he sparrow s ings the sparrow fl ies
With mighty w ings he reaches
A s high as a ny ot her bi rd
He shall inh erit a ll the E arth
A wealth of s ilence will d escend upon the t own in colors o f the evening
T he thought has t roubled me b efore I kn ow how l ong I'll n eed
A sound to fi ll each moment
I had to fi nd it out my w ay they couldn't st op me leaving
A s though they kn ew they could not st ay they let me g o believing . . .
T he sparrow s ings the sparrow fl ies
With mighty w ings he reaches
A s high as a ny ot her bi rd
He shall inh erit a ll the E arth
T he sparrow s ings the sparrow fl ies
With mighty w ings he reaches
A s high as a ny ot her bi rd
He shall inh erit a ll the E arth
Through the b lue and hazy dr ifts of after t wo a saxoph one is moaning
I rise and st ep into the c old night ai r
