Bm
How does a sparrow know more than I?
E
When its mother is gone, it learns how to fly
Bm
With no direction, its wings in the wind
G A Bm
How does a bird know more than I?
[Verse 2]
Bm
How does the winter know to hold on
E
When it's scared of its shadow and flowers are gone?
Bm G
The leaves all lay sleepin', prayin' to hear spring-time songs
G A Bm
How does the winter know to hold on?
[Chorus]
D A
Nobody told me what I should do
Bm G
When the world starts to rumble and shake under you
D A
How does an orphan find its way home?
G A E
Reach out with no hand to hold
G A Bm
How do I make it alone?
[Verse 3]
Bm
What keeps a river runnin' that way?
E
Is it slave to the ocean, a wild runaway?
Bm G
Does it shed a tear, all who have drowned in its wake?
G A Bm
What keeps a river runnin' that way?
[Chorus]
D A
Nobody told me what I should do
Bm G
When the world starts to rumble and shake under you
D A
How does an orphan find its way home?
G A E
Reach out with no hand to hold
G A Bm
How do I make it alone?
[Instrumental]
E Bm G A Bm
[Chorus]
D A
Nobody told me what I should do

Reach out with no hand to hold
