#singersongwriter #countryfolk Was watching the bird feeder, and the bible story of the sparrow came to me. (Matthew, although I'm not extremely familiar with the bible and had to look it up) I think it's funny how my (fairly easygoing) religious upbringing often comes out in my songs. I'm a Catholic, but as my father used to say, I'm an "Irish Catholic". Much more liberal about everything. I used Big Fish Audio loops in this. The lyrics were written separately, they came to me all at once. I like singing this, the phrasing needs work, but this was a quickie recording. May fix it later. Thanks for reading and listening if you've made it this far :)

The sparrow did not fall Nanci Hobson February 15, 2026

when I was a child I learned in CCD The story of the sparrow And how He watched over me But faith has been hard lately Harder to believe Since you have been gone I haven’t done a thing I haven’t found a car Work is complicated Can’t even remember When I last made my bed But I saw the New Year in I’ll see this old one out Because I believe, I believe now

The sparrow did not fall It gathered up its wings Despite all the odds Dared to brave the wind It didn’t stop to fear It didn’t stop to cry Matthew you were wrong The sparrow did not fall It learned to fly

Winter is a bitch Spring is just a lie Summer is just fake news Autumn makes me cry But I can’t fight this life It is stronger than me I can’t stop my heart From wanting to beat I saw the New Year in I’ll see this old one out Because I believe, I believe now

repeat chorus
