N.B. This has been tabbed from the live version on "One Woman's Live Journey" 
Some bits I've had to fill in myself as couldn't hear the actual plucking sequence on the album. 
 
 
The tempo is 3/4.

2nd Verse: 
 
 
A sparrow finds freedom, beholding the sun 
In the infinite beauty, we're all joined in one 
I reach out before me, and look to the sky 
Did I hear someone whisper, did something pass by 
 
 
chorus 
 
 
Like a bright star in Heaven, that lights our way home 
Like the flower that shattered the stone
