Sparrow

Sweet sparrow I miss your song
Why have you been gone for so long?
I know you’re out there somewhere flying on your own

When you’re done with trouble find your way back home
I know the wind is rising throwing everything
Tears, clouds and ashes make it hard to sing
I’ll be your refuge, come into my arms

Let it rain
Let it rage
Stay with me
Stay my love
Let the pain
Wash away

Everything we don’t need

O duro de min
(wait for me)
O duro ifè min
(wait for me my love)

Tché oduro odemi
(won’t you wait for me)

Remember the storm that brokе the lake
We wеre so young so afraid
Standing there in the doorway
Whispering to God
Praying for mercy

Oluwa dahoun
Mon gbadura yin
(God, please answer my prayers)
Oluwa dahoun
Mon gbadura yin
(God, please answer my prayers)

I looked at you through howling rain
We started singing that old song again
Our voices rising
Aburo min da houn
(My sister, answer me)
Turning and turning
Aburo min walé o
(My sister come back home)

Verse over chorus

Let it rain
Let it rage
Stay with me
Wa lé ooo
(please come back home)
Stay in love
Let the pain
Wash away
Everything we don’t need
Wa lé ooo
(please come back home)
Let it rain
Let it rage
Stay with me
Wa lé ooo
(please come back home)
Wait my love

Cause we gonna rise, we gonna rise up singing
This is how we move
Wa lé aburo
(Come back home my sister)
We gonna rise up singing
This is how we wait my love, yeah

We gonna rise up singing
Oh stay with me
Wa lé aburo
(Come back home my sister)

We gonna rise up singing
Wait with me my love
We gonna rise up singing
Sweet sparrow
Wa lé aburo
(Come back home my sister)
We gonna rise up singing
Sweet sparrow
We gonna rise up singing
Sweet sparrow
