A great song, sung by a great singer and songwriter. She has sustained her creativity from the age of about 5 to sixty-five. She's still writing them, singing them, playing them and performing them around different parts of the world. She's had a huge response on her latest Better Day tour in UK,IRL, and N.Europe, Australia. How she manages all this with Dollywood, her imagination library, movies and a thousand and one other things is down to dedication, talent and genius.
I saw her perform this song last night in concert. It was completely mesmerizing!! She did it a very slowed down version a capella with her backup singers. The melody was captivating.
Yesterday I found a little sparrow sitting on the sidewalk in the city, not moving but still alive. The poor thing was so fragile, trembling and frightened, and I picked him up and put him out of harm's way, under a bush. I went back today and he was dead. Probably nothing that could have been done, but at least it was shown some kindness before it died. That experience, and this song, show the importance of showing kindness and love.
@Vagrarian poor sparrow :( that made a tear into my eye. the world is a cruel and full off fear. people get killed in this moment, Thing's would have been better if we just healed the world. like michael jackson belived in. there is a group on facebook about heal the world. if everyone could join that group. and honor hies name. Too show how much hie whas worth too uss.
Thanks for reading <3 Hope you all walk in peace <3
With respect to Dolly Parton, who gave this wonderful song a new lease on life -- but it is an OLD folk song. It enjoyed a wave of popularity in hte 50s, when Peter Paul and Mary sang it, and Aretha Franklin did a great version, called Tiny Sparrow

THis song is old as the hills -- it's wonderful to hear it made to sound like it's new, but the saddest thing is, it's still news. "Come all ye fair and tendenr maidens, take warning how you court your man They'll break your hearts...."
@garamond888 Oh God. You can't be serious! David Cook is not even close to the level of talent that Dolly has. You can find a million people that would sound just like David Cook but nobody sounds like Dolly Parton.
I had a little sister who died when she was a baby. At her funeral, our priest referred to her as a little sparrow. So the line 'little sparrow flies so high and feels no pain' is in perfect reference to baby girl, she is flying high now with no pain. Perfect song for my perfect angel!
my wife and i were so luck that last year we went to see dolly live in birmingham totaly blown away she realy is awsom a true living ledgend we love you dolly
