Lyrics

SPARROW LOST (by Heidi Wolfson)

There is no lost, like sparrow lost,
There are no maps, there is no atlas
And when you’re lost, sparrow lost,
Every branch and tree is suspect

The sparrow languages are many
There are 500 words for fly
But every thread of that cacophony
Provides great meaning to a sparrow who is lost
Sparrow lost, lost, sparrow lost, lost

There is no hunger like sparrow hunger
They spend their lives scrapping for each morsel they can get
Can’t sate that hunger with wings in motion,
All of that foraging creates more hunger

The sparrow hunting grounds are few,
And their numbers are many
And this Holy War for food
Creates such tension between sparrows who are lost
Sparrow lost, lost, sparrow lost

Lost, Sparrow Lost, Lost, Sparrow Lost
