Lyrics
If I were a lark
and you were a sparrow
We’d fly like two arrows
straight into the sky
We’d jump from the nest
spread our wings boldly
cry out “sky hold me”
and it would oblige
So we’ll fly knowing the sky’s our beloved
And we’ll fly knowing we’re born to be free
The day may well come
When the clouds gather round us
driving rains pound us
And lightning strikes near
We’ll sit in our nests
for refuge and comfort
But comfort is not the
Solution to fear
So we’ll fly knowing the sky’s our beloved
And we’ll fly knowing we’re born to be free
When we draw near to
The end of our chapter
The heartaches and laughter
Will not disappear
We’ll empty our bags
And pack up our loves ones
The bits of old reruns
Our own souvenirs
And we’ll fly knowing the sky’s our beloved
Yes, we’ll fly knowing we’re born to be free
If I were a lark …
and you were a sparrow…
