lyrics

Ask me a question child
Ask me a question child
I will try to answer the best I can

Oh sparrow, down by the water
Oh sparrow down by the water
Why do you fly so low?

Oh loneliness, like the winter
Oh loneliness like the winter
Why do you cover me up and block out the sun

Oh to carry on would be
Oh to carry on would be
Well it’s just one way to go

Best I can tell, the only reason we are hear
Is to care for one another
Care for one another
Please care for one another
