Come Sunday morning everyone will leave the house, dressed for the Sunday service

And through the streets I used to know they go to meet their friends
             A               Dm
And so they take the family seat

Father prays so earnestly, forgetting all around him

When Eleanor sings in the choir, it's like a lark in summer


[Chorus]

G           D                   G
The sparrow sings, the sparrow flies
            D
With mighty wings he reaches
C          G    D     C
As high as any other bird
           G     D       G
He shall inherit all the Earth

G           D                   G
The sparrow sings, the sparrow flies
            D
With mighty wings he reaches
C          G    D     C
As high as any other bird
           G     D       G
He shall inherit all the Earth

            Am           C/G              F               G
A wealth of silence will descend upon the town, in colors of the evening
C               Am          E          Am      E         C
The thought has troubled me before, I know how long I'll need
            A
A sound to fill each moment
Dm        A             Dm                  G
I had to find it out my way, they couldn't stop me leaving
C               E                   Am               D
As though they knew they could not stay, they let me go believing . . .

The sparrow sings, the sparrow flies
            D
With mighty wings he reaches

As high as any other bird
           G     D       G
He shall inherit all the Earth
G           D                   G
The sparrow sings, the sparrow flies
            D
With mighty wings he reaches
C          G    D     C
As high as any other bird
           G     D       G
He shall inherit all the Earth
