MIGHTY SPARROW
Words & Music by Rob Bender, Published by Bender Creative Group, BMI copyright 2022

Take your place sparrow
Feed your soul sparrow
Strength will come sparrow
Mighty mite sparrow

I got the sparrow in my soul
I got the sparrow in my soul

Fly all through the night
Strong and steady flight
Wings of steel and golden lace
Primal force eternal grace

Sparrow please (come by)
When they try (come by)
To break me down (come by)
Show me how (come by)
be a sparrow cuz the…

Sparrow trumps (the hate)
The power lives (just wait)
Ancient force, never ends (be strong)
- Humble, enduring, tenacious, and steady (sparrow)

When the world’s in disarray
A light shines on, it’s here to stay
Everywhere and all the time
The small endure to rise and shine

I got the sparrow in my soul
I got the sparrow in my soul

Flying above
Riding the breeze
Up in the trees
Diving below

Got the sparrow (don’t let go)
Sparrow (in my soul)

Rosa Parks, Nelson Mandela, Lee Cheuk-yan, Mahatma Gandhi
Hubert Reeves, Alexei Navalny, Greta Thunberg, Eirliani Abdul Rahman
Neil deGrasse Tyson, Rachael Maddow, Harvey Milk, John Lennon, Chico Mendes, Martin-Luther-King-Jr, Winona LaDuke, Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Take my hand (some one)
Slow your pace (just breathe)
May not see (it come)
Step by step (it’s done)
- be a sparrow cuz it…

May not have (the size)
Hard to see (surprise)
Just might stay (alive)
A mighty mite (survive)
- the wind, the rain, the storm at night

Spirit sees (the light)
Then the dark (takes sight)
Dream about (strange things)
Heart awaits (its wings)
- for the mighty sparrow

Time goes on (and on)
Now is here (then gone)
First and last (unroll)
Parts become (the whole)
- forever, expanding, mighty sparrow

I got the sparrow (in my soul)
Sparrow (in my soul)
I got the sparrow (don’t let go)
Sparrow (in my soul)

Hey, everybody, hey!
Let it roll
It’s in your soul
In your soul
