Lyric discussion by Jenapher 

Cover art for Sparrow lyrics by Simon and Garfunkel

To me, it's about life and death. Life is full of cruelty and selfishness, but death is gentle and caring. When no one else will be there to take care of you, when no one else will love you, the earth will softly take you back in her arms and never turn away from your suffering.

@Jenapher Sadly, I agree. Rejected by most of humanity, I know I will be accepted, finally, by death.
