Fell down on both knees, You were young
Bones still soft, Legs fell numb
Oh how those sparrows sang for you
So you grew up, An isolated pup
You had some books, You had some love
Oh God was watching over you
Oh how those sparrows sang for you
Uhh uhh uhh uhh
Uhh uhh uhhhh hhhhh uhh
You witnessed a man, A holy man
Touched your head, With his gentle hands
Oh God was watching over you
Lived in a house, In birmingham
A preacher's son, The Lord's plan
Oh God was watching over you
Oh how those sparrows sang for two
Uhh uhh uhh uhh
Uhh uhh uhhhh hhhhh uhh
Uhh uhh uhhuhh uhh uhhuhh uhhhh
Uhh uhh uhhuhh uhh uhhuhh uhhhh
When you arrived, He carried you there
Near the preacher's son, Your only love
Oh God was watching over you
Wedding bells rang Wedding bells ring
Church choir sang Church choir sing
A gospel song Whoa-oh oh whoa
A beautiful one A beautiful one
Oh such a melancholy tune It's a sad tune mmmm-mmm
Oh how it reminds me of you
