Sing Sparrow Sing

Beneath a snowy window pane A sparrow broke its wing Laying upon the snowy ground It still begins to sing It sings of its many blessings Through the sunshine and the rain Singing loud its songs of joy Forgetting about its pain It sings about its treetop home Where it hides its humble nest It sings about its very first flight And how it passed the test It sings about the beautiful flowers And how it loves their seeds It sings about The Father above That supplies all of its needs It sings about the mighty winds That change the clear blue skies The sparrow sings its farewell song And then it simply dies
