lyrics

You might have seen him in your dreams
There might be a thread to pull
if you're wondering what it means
Those verdant plumes and eyes like storms

Spiritual wealth in observation of heaven-bound passeridae
you won't catch the Emerald Sparrow

Perched atop the ruins of machines,
his talons tap the rhythms to a hymn
And brings the sun in shades of white and green
shaded by the cool movement of his wings

Faith and perfect health in preserving the trees' streaming electricity,
lighting up the Emerald Sparrow

Sapphires and moonlit rays reflect
every feathered rain that falls to Earth
Fertilize the wooden casks of wine
and keep you feeling like you're living in a dream

Faith and perfect health in preserving the trees' streaming electricity,
lighting up those little engines
that power aviation with their famous
spiritual wealth in observation of heaven-bound passeridae,
you won't catch the Emerald Sparrow
