Sparrow's Fall

The sparrow fell from its perch From the dead weight of this earth His precious held life long dreams Were someone else's old misgivings Don't live as the echo But thrive as the sound Don't live as the echo But thrive as the sound The boy dug deep with his hands Only to find poisoned lands And all he could carry all he could take Were our legacies of hand me down mistakes The fruits of our tears rot at the vine Not enough heart not enough time No right answers to their wrong ways When we inherit our graves (Don't) live as the echo But thrive as the sound (Don't) live as the echo But thrive as the sound Don't let your future Writhe in our past Don't let your future Writhe in our past Don't let your future Writhe in our past Don't let your future Writhe in our fucking past
