Lyrics

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]
