i found a sparrow lying on the ground
her life i knew would soon be at an end
i knelt before her as she made a sound
and listened as she said
"my friend,
take these wings
and learn to fly
to the highest mountain in the sky;
take these eyes
and learn to see
all the things so dear to me;
take this song
and learn to sing
fill your voice with all the joys of spring;
take this heart
and set it free
let it fly
beyond the sea."

i realy loooove so much these song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the whole song goes like this
I saw a sparrow lying
On the ground
A life I knew would
Soon be at an end
I knelt before her as she
Made a sound
And listened as she said
My friend
Take these wings
And learn to fly
To the highest mountain
In the sky
Take these eyes
And learn to see
Learn to see
All the things
So dear to me
Take this song
And learn to sing
Fill your voice
With all the joys of spring
Take this heart
And set it free
Let it fly
(let it fly, let it fly)
Beyond the sea
I found another
sparrow in the sand
I tiny bird whose life has
Just begun
I picked him up and
Held him in my hand
And whispered in his ear
My son
Take these wings
And learn to fly
To the highest mountain
In the sky
Take these eyes
And learn to see
Learn to see
All the things
So dear to me
Take this song
And learn to sing
Fill your voice
With all the joys of spring
Take this heart
And set it free
Let it fly
(let it fly, let it fly)
Beyond the sea
thanks, anonymous.
I love this song
You got the first verse and chorus correct however the second verse goes like this
I found another sparrow on the sand
A tiny bird whose life had just begun
I picked it up and held him in my hand
Then smiled at him and said
My son
