Wake Up, Little Sparrow

[Verse 1] Wake up, wake up, little sparrow Don't make your home out in the snow Don't make your home out in the snow [Verse 2] Little bird, oh don't you know? Your friends flew south many months ago Your friends flew south many months ago [Verse 3] You're just a babe, you cannot fly Your wings won't spread up against the sky Your wings won't spread up against the sky [Verse 1]
