You soared so high, you flew so far

You felt like you could fly beyond the stars

But isn't it like life to let you down

And leave your heart in pieces on the ground



When sparrows fall from lofty heights

When wings aren't strong enough for flight

When sparrows fall and dreams lay shattered

And all hope is out of sight

God saw the climb, He sees the crawl

He'll pick you up when you may call

He cares for you, He sees it all

When sparrows fall



The bitter winds can start to blow

And stormy skies can rock your very soul

And you wonder how you wound up in this place

With such an overwhelming need for grace



When sparrows fall from lofty heights

When wings aren't strong enough for flight

When sparrows fall and dreams lay shattered

And all hope is out of sight

God saw the climb, He sees the crawl

He'll pick you up when you may call

He cares for you, He sees it all

When sparrows fall



So don't ever think your sorrows go unnoticed

For our Lord is well acquainted with your grief

Even when you think you're all alone

He's there to break your fall and whisper peace, sweet peace



When sparrows fall from lofty heights

When wings aren't strong enough for flight

When sparrows fall and dreams lay shattered

And all hope is out of sight

God saw the climb, He sees the crawl

He'll pick you up when you may call

He cares for you, He sees it all

When sparrows fall
