My little sparrow there is hope for you   Your life has just begun   And I could not do what I wanted to   But I fear my time is almost done   But through your actions truth will carry on   Go forth with joy in your heart   And even though I will be gone   You've got to play your part   Listen to me now...      You will overcome, I promise you   And be whatever it is that you want to be   There is hope for you   Oh there's hope for you   But it's much too late for me      Wayward weeping voices that you will hear   Each with their own story to tell   And you have the choice to bend your ear   And treat your fellow humans well   So goodbye my little sparrow   It's time that I must go   To keep on the straight and narrow   There's something you must know   Listen to me now...      CHORUS
