tell me sparrow, are you suffer?
broken wings, lost some feathers
tell me fellow, are you tear apart from fate?
life can be so damn boring
just learn to fly
don't you ever long for the sky?
tell me sparrow, are you gonna sing?
you got that voice, makes me feel like a human being
tell me fellow, did you break a leg?
you never dance
broken wings, heaven won't lift you up
helpless cries "tell me why"
tell me sparrow, are you suffer?

So many times we don't live up to our potential. That is what I get out of this. A beautiful little sparrow who has so much to offer but doesn't offer it
Birds have my heart...so of course I grabbed this one to read and I'm so glad I did. This is lovely!
