Jimmy Cliff - Keep Your Eyes On The Sparrow

Here I stand with my head down in my hand
Wondering what on earth I have done wrong
There's a cloud that has overshadowed me
Blocks the light from my eyes I cannot see

But I know just where I want a be
Right or wrong I've got to face my destiny
Somebody tell me to
Keep your eyes on the sparrow
Keep your eyes on the sparrow
Watch yourself, what you do
Mind your back, what you choose
For tomorrow

One more thing
I see people going places every day
I see their faces but they never look my way
Where's the key that should unlock the door
I'm sitting here, by myself on the floor

Yes I know just where I want to be
But how many times must I die before I'm set free
Somebody tell me to
Keep your eyes on the sparrow
Keep your eyes on the sparrow
Watch yourself, what you do
Mind your back, what you choose
For tomorrow

(..)

Here I stand with my head down in my hand
Wondering what on earth I have done wrong
There's a cloud that has overshadowed me
Blocks the light from my eyes I cannot see

But I know just where I want a be
Right or wrong I've got to face my destiny
Somebody tell me to
Keep your eyes on the sparrow
Keep your eyes on the sparrow
Keep your eyes on the sparrow
Keep it on, keep it on
Keep your eyes on the sparrow

Keep your eyes on the sparrow
Keep your eyes on the sparrow
Keep your eyes on the sparrow
Keep your eyes on the sparrow
Keep your eyes on the sparrow
Keep your eyes on the sparrow
