There's hope for you

My little sparrow there is hope for you Your life has just begun And I could not do what I wanted to But I fear my time is almost done But through your actions truth will carry on Go forth with joy in your heart And even though I will be gone You've got to play your part Listen to me now... You will overcome, I promise you And be whatever it is that you want to be There is hope for you Oh there's hope for you But it's much too late for me Wayward weeping voices that you will hear Each with their own story to tell And you have the choice to bend your ear And treat your fellow humans well So goodbye my little sparrow It's time that I must go To keep on the straight and narrow There's something you must know Listen to me now... CHORUS --- There's Hope for You - William Elliott Whitmore
