lyrics

they didn't hear you say a word, sparrow,
until you said goodbye

they didn't hear you say a word, child,
until you quit and said goodbye

everyone who leaves this place
has a day to die

everyone who leaves this place
even you and i

but you have a day to live
you have a day to live
you have a day to live
and you are alive

they say that everyone has a place
and that we must survive

we didn't have a chance in the world
how're we gonna survive?

oh, how we laughed at them
because we knew we'd die

oh how we laughed at them,
everyone will die

but we'll have a day to live
we'll have a day to live
we'll have a day to live
and we are alive

i promised you a sparrow, child,
to keep birdsong alive
i promised you a sparrow, child,
to keep your song alive

I promised you a child,
i'll keep yr song alive
