Sparrow

[Chorus 1]
Oh brother the water is rising on me
Oh sister my sorrow has filled up the sea
Thought times they were changing
I dreamed I was free
But brother the water's still rising on me

[Verse 1]
The weight of this mountain's too heavy for me
Oh father, this mountain's too heavy for me
But I'll keep on walkin', till I rinse my feet
Until then the water's still rising on me

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus 2]
Oh brother the water is rising on me
Oh sister my sorrow has filled up the sea
Though times they were changing, one day I'll be free
But brother the water's still rising on me

[Verse 2]
I flew like the sparrow into the sun
I marched with the others till my race was done
I saw all the children and dreamed they were free
And all of their troubles swept by the sea
And all of their troubles were swept by the sea
