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. 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. When you arrived. Carried you there. Hear 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
