Sparrow by Kinnship Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been waiting on a promise given to me
Folding all the corners and testing with my teeth
You wouldn't let a sparrow fall down
So how come I'm still testing my crown?
And ripping off the edges and crumpling in my hands
How often must I formulate my plans?
You wouldn't let a sparrow fall down
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know a thing about mapping my routes
A compass in my hand the only clue
So come and relinquish all my duties I have
They're weighing me down
And I can feel a canker spreading
Begins at my hands, and the feet is where I'm dreading
Perhaps I'll surrender it all
And you'll hold me real close
[Chorus]
I'll follow you
Even when my limbs hang loose
Even when my body should refuse to
I'll follow you
Even when my limbs hang loose
Even when my body should refuse
[Verse 2]
You unfold the paper and with writer's pen you show
My understanding was not overgrown
You wouldn't let a sparrow fall down
So you begin adjusting my crown
Encrusting all the jewels and bandaging around the rim
Where edges previously cut through my skin
You wouldn't let a sparrow fall down
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know a thing about mapping my roots
The compass my hand the only clue
But then you relinquished all my duties I had
They were weighing me down
And then I felt a canker spreading
Begun on my hands and the feet was where I was dreading
But then I surrendered it all
And you still hold me real close
[Chorus]
I'll follow you
Even when my limbs hang loose
Even when my body should refuse to
I'll follow you
Even when my limbs hang loose
Even when my body should refuse
[Outro:]
I'll follow you (I release my grip and let the paper float away)
Even when my limbs hang loose (Could my worry add an hour to my day?)
Even when my body should refuse to
(You wouldn't let a sparrow fall down)
(Now I sit boldly wearing my crown)
I'll follow you (Feeling like a prophet and no longer like a fool)
Even when my limbs hang loose (No I will not wait for stirrings of the pool)
Even when my body should refuse
(You would let a sparrow fall down)
(Now I sit boldly wearing my crown)
I've been waiting on a promise given to me
Folding all the corners and testing with my teeth
You wouldn't let a sparrow fall down
So how come I'm still testing my crown?
And ripping off the edges and crumpling in my hands
How often must I formulate my plans?
You wouldn't let a sparrow fall down
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know a thing about mapping my routes
A compass in my hand the only clue
So come and relinquish all my duties I have
They're weighing me down
And I can feel a canker spreading
Begins at my hands, and the feet is where I'm dreading
Perhaps I'll surrender it all
And you'll hold me real close
[Chorus]
I'll follow you
Even when my limbs hang loose
Even when my body should refuse to
I'll follow you
Even when my limbs hang loose
Even when my body should refuse
[Verse 2]
You unfold the paper and with writer's pen you show
My understanding was not overgrown
You wouldn't let a sparrow fall down
So you begin adjusting my crown
Encrusting all the jewels and bandaging around the rim
Where edges previously cut through my skin
You wouldn't let a sparrow fall down
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know a thing about mapping my roots
The compass my hand the only clue
But then you relinquished all my duties I had
They were weighing me down
And then I felt a canker spreading
Begun on my hands and the feet was where I was dreading
But then I surrendered it all
And you still hold me real close
[Chorus]
I'll follow you
Even when my limbs hang loose
Even when my body should refuse to
I'll follow you
Even when my limbs hang loose
Even when my body should refuse
[Outro:]
I'll follow you (I release my grip and let the paper float away)
Even when my limbs hang loose (Could my worry add an hour to my day?)
Even when my body should refuse to
(You wouldn't let a sparrow fall down)
(Now I sit boldly wearing my crown)
I'll follow you (Feeling like a prophet and no longer like a fool)
Even when my limbs hang loose (No I will not wait for stirrings of the pool)
Even when my body should refuse
(You would let a sparrow fall down)
(Now I sit boldly wearing my crown)
