All you little sparrows on a swaying branch
Singing to the cars upon the overpass
When you fly away from here
Take me with you when you go
A herd of antelope, a sea of redwood trees
Schools of shining fish and a thousand buzzing bees
Over vacant parking lots that pass in peace
Rising in the air, little dandelion seeds
When you fly away from here
Please don't leave me when you go
If I were Jonah tossed into the raging sea
I would not fear the whale that came to swallow me
All you paper cups blowing down the windy street
All you little ants marching through the tangled weeds
Where you're going, I don't care
Take me with you when you go
