Orphan

How does a sparrow know more than I
When the mother is gone, it learns how to fly
With no direction, its wings in the wind
How does a bird know more than I
How does the winter know to hold on
When it's scared of its shadow and the flowers are gone
Leaves all lay sleepin', prayin' to hear springtime's song
How does the winter know to hold on
Nobody told me what I should do
When the world starts to rumble and shake under you
How does it an orphan find its way home
Reach out with no hand to hold
How do I make it alone?
What keeps a river winding that way
Is it slave to the ocean or the wild runaway
Does it shed a tear for all who have drowned its wake
What keeps a river winding that way
Nobody told me what I should do
When the world starts to rumble and shake under you
How does an orphan find its way home
Reach out with no hand to hold
How do I make it alone?
Nobody told me what I should do
When the world starts to rumble and shake under you
I am an orphan a long way from home
I reach out with no hand to hold
How do I make it alone?
How does a sparrow know more than I
When the mother is gone, it learns how to fly
