Why stone the sparrow as she sings To silence her with broken wings The gentle creature knows no hate So cast no stones, it’s not too late Though feathered of a different score Her song desires just to soar To live and let love bears no cost And nothing to avail is lost Why stone the sparrow as she flies So sad whenever something dies Created by a love divine As life is meant to thrive and shine There must a place be, to remain Where all can sing in sweet refrain So sing, oh sparrow, never cease To sing your hopeful song of peace
