Catch The Sparrow - Airborne Lyrics

We are like leaves that fall to the ground
Sometimes I wonder if in our short flight
Some meaning can be found
But then again I think too much
It seems to be my curse
To always marvel at the mysteries of the universe

My mother who raised me, she doesn't know
Why I get scared of living
At twenty-three years old
I'm too indecisive
Too easily swayed
A lonely leaf drifting, the wind determines my way

Now I can see why people
Turn to the skies above
Why they search for oblivion
Or loose themselves in love
But I can't live that way
I need my senses clear
I cannot hold on to the branches
And live my life in fear

There is just no way to know
What is waiting at our landing
Down below
There is no way of knowing
There is no way to say
If we go there with a purpose, or if we fall in vain

Now I can see why people
Turn to the skies above
Why they search for oblivion
Or loose themselves in love
But I can't live that way
I need my senses clear
I cannot hold on to the branches
And live my life in fear

Close your eyes, we're floating
We are dancing on the currents
And life is just a moment
Of fleeting imperfection
Carried by the wind in all directions
We are airborne
