Seekers, The - Sparrow Song Lyrics






Fly little sparrow
High above the clouds,
Looking for a place to
Lay your weary body down.

Fly on little sparrow
Northward to the sun,
Wonder if you'll ever
Find yourself a home.

Tell me, Little sparrow
Tell me, What do you see?
I see a concrete canyon
Without a single tree,
And it goes winding on for ever
Where once proud rivers ran,
Oh I hope that I can find
One truly happy man.

Fly little sparrow
High above the clouds,
Looking for a place to
Lay your weary body down.

I seek a land of far horizons
Of gentle winds and summer rain,
Where the children are not hungry
And they've put an end to pain,
And I will sing a song of freedom
In the arms of a golden tree,
Is there such a place on earth
For a tiny bird like me?

Fly little sparrow
High above the clouds,
Looking for a place to
Lay your weary body down.

Yes and fly on little sparrow
Northward to the sun,
Wonder if you'll ever
Find yourself a home.

  1. F.... ....

    I wonder what happened to Louisa Wisseling.

  2. T.... J....

    Imagine having to step into Judith's shoes. Louisa was magnificent.

  3. D.... D....

    I grew up with this song, and brought tears to my eyes when I heard it again. thank you

  4. �.... �....

    I really liked it!

  5. M.... L....

    I sang this song for my relatives, I sang the best I could as a child if 10 could. Thank you for the check of the past..

  6. l.... A....

    Love this tune. Louisa has a Judith quality voice but no one replaces Judith.

  7. R.... F....

    The audience seems disconnected. Was this performance lip-synched? They keep pointing to something, maybe cameras or something. They would have had my full attention!!

    R.... F....

    It was sung live to a backing track, but I added the stereo audio from the record. In the other Musicladen clip from the same day (on my channel) the audience look like they've been given a talking-to and are full of enthusiasm!

  8. R.... F....

    Athol Guy looks like a mafia hit man or Father Guido Sarducci.....he's still awesome though....

    R.... F....

    Yep, I think Keith Potger got the most groupies.

  9. r.... ....

    Where are you Lynn ? . Remember Claude Fay's .

    New Seekers, not 'The Seekers'

    L.... ....

    Take a look at the banner at the start of the video - no 'New', just 'The Seekers'. I've been a fan for 50 years and read everything there is to read as well as meeting them several times. The New Seekers sang a lot of songs, but 'The Sparrow song' was The Seekers!!! For your homework READ THE WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE!!!! - and watch this video - https://youtu.be/xt2nYrN3vJ0 😊

    L.... ....

    Yep, it was not reunion, it was a comeback without Judith Durham at the helm - but as you say it was 'The Seekers' who had reformed, for a while but failed to have the same impact as did before. Luckily, 'The 'Seekers after being 25 years away, got back together. All the original group members. still singing today.

    L.... ....

    Rich I admire you being such a fan of 'The Seekers for all these years. I hope that you able to continue being their fan for many years to come.. Leo

    P.S. Please accept my apologises of getting things a out of prospective.

    L.... ....

    No worries - glad we got there in the end!

    L.... ....

    Yes! Cheers for that

    This probably my favourite Seekers song. Louisa had a wonderful voice but I am wondering what happened to Judith Durham?

    s.... p....

    Judith took a 25 year break from the group, rejoining in 1993. Since then, The Seekers have released 4 new albums and celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2013/14 by touring the UK , Australia & NZ.

    s.... p....

    Judith is and always will be a legend in Australian entertainment.  Beautiful lady and beautiful voice and she's shared her amazing talents with us for 50-odd years.  I love this song too ...

    s.... p....

    She came back to be what she is to this day... THE Lead Singer of the Seekers.

  13. G.... L....

    Louisa was such a good singer, but she just didn't have the greatness of Judith Durham.

  14. C.... W....

    I KNEW they was hippies! exhibit "A". I still like Judith Durham she was yummy.

  15. c.... ....

    Who is the lead singer of the New seekers?

    c.... ....

    carrychris2010 Lyn Paul & Eve Graham (but these are not the New Seekers) 😊

    c.... ....

    Thanks rich !

    c.... ....

    This is not the New Seekers. Just to be clear.
