Orphan (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]

How does a sparrow know more than I?

When its mother is gone, it learns how to fly

With no direction, its wings in the wind

How does a bird know more than I?

[Verse 2]

How does the winter know to hold on

When it's scared of its shadow and flowers are gone?

The leaves all lay sleepin', prayin' to hear spring-time songs

How does the winter know to hold on?

[Chorus]

Nobody told me what I should do

When the world starts to rumble and shake under you

How does an orphan find its way home?

Reach out with no hand to hold

How do I make it alone?

[Verse 3]

What keeps a river runnin' that way?

Is it slave to the ocean, a wild runaway?

Does it shеd a tear, all who have drowned in its wakе?

What keeps a river runnin' that way?

[Chorus]

Nobody told me what I should do

When the world starts to rumble and shake under you

How does an orphan find its way home?

Reach out with no hand to hold

How do I make it alone?

[Chorus]

Nobody told me what I should do

When the world starts to rumble and shake under you

I am an orphan a long way from home

And I reach out with no hand to hold

How do I make it alone?

[Outro]

How does a sparrow know more than I?

When its mother is gone, it learns how to fly
