Awake tonight waiting for the dawn
Night time makes me feel afraid
But the sun will soon be here and lessen all my fear
For the coming day
Thinking about a song I heard along time ago
Can’t remember exactly how it goes
So I’ll hum a bar or two and then I’ll think of you
And the coming day
Time is passing by
Fly sparrow fly
You won’t ever have to die
You’ll just sing your song again
And sail off with the wind
To the coming day
If I could only turn back
The clock a year or two
Then I’d know exactly what to do
And I could live it all again
Knowing what might have been
For the coming day
The days they go so fast
The present is the past
The future’s still so far away
But when all is said and done
I’m still waiting for the son
And the coming day
Time is passing by
Fly sparrow fly
You won’t ever have to die
You’ll just sing your song again
And sail off with the wind
To the coming day
Time is passing by
Fly sparrow fly
You won’t ever have to die
You’ll just sing your song again
And sail off with the wind
To the coming day
