Fell down on both knees
You were young
Bones still soft
Legs felt num
Oh, how those sparrows sang for you
So you grew up
Isolated pu
Had some birch
Had some love
Oh, God was watching over you
Oh, how those sparrows sang for you
Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh
Oooooooooohhhhhhhhh"¦
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
Preachers self
Lord's plan
Oh, God was watching over you
Oh, how those sparrows sang for two
Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhh
Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhh"¦
When you arrived
The carriage had left
Near the preacher's cell
Your own love
Oh, God was watching over you
Wedding bells rang (wedding bells ring)
The church choir sings (church choir sings)
Gospel sells (Ooohhh)
Beautiful world (beautiful world)
Oh such a melody calling to
Oh how it reminds me of you
Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhh
Ooooooooooooooohhhhhhh"¦
