Jordan Smith - "Sparrow"

Sparrow

Who clipped your wings and put you down?
Who ever thought one word could tie you to the ground?
To those who told you what you are, and good enough
Let 'em know that you will rise above
Let 'em know that you will rise above

Sparrow
Up and fly away
There's a brighter day
We don't have to stay here anymore
Little sparrow
We can own the sky
There's a better world inside
We don't have to stay here anymore

I feel it sifting in the wind
With every morning comes a new day to begin forever
To those who told me who I am should disappear
You haven't seen the view from way up here

Sparrow
Up and fly away
There's a brighter day
We don't have to stay here anymore
Little sparrow
We can own the sky
There's a better world inside
We don't have to stay here anymore

Sparrow
Sparrow, oh oh

You might be bending, but you're not breaking
You are a miracle in the making
So if you're falling, it's a change worth taking
On the horizon, the dawn is breaking

Sparrow
Up and fly away
There's a brighter day
We don't have to stay here anymore
Little sparrow
We can own the sky
There's a better world inside
We don't have to stay here anymore

(Anymore, we don't have to stay)
Anymore
(Anymore, we don't have to stay here anymore)

Sparrow
We can own the sky
There's a better world inside
We don't have to ѕtay here аnymore
