Sparrows Over Birmingham
Josh Rouse

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
Near the preacher's son, your only love
Oh, God was watching over you

Wedding bells rang, church choir sang
A gospel song, a beautiful one
Oh, such a melancholy tune
Oh, how it reminds me of you
