The New Seekers were a completely separate band, albeit created by Keith Potger in the early seventies. Gerald. "Sparrow Song" by The Seekers Refer: http://www.geocities.com/aequum/sparrowsong.html The Seekers Founded in Australia in 1963 Refer: http://www.centrohd.com/biogra/s4/the_seekers_founded_in_australia.htm "In 1975, the Seekers briefly reformed with teenage Dutch singer Louisa Wisseling replacing Judith Durham. They enjoyed one moment of chart glory when The Sparrow Song topped the Australian charts." The Seekers Refer: http://www.howlspace.com.au/en4/seekers/seekers.htm "For seven years that resentment festered, and in 1975, back in Australia, they put the group back together, recruiting Dutch-born Australian singer Louisa Wesseling as Judith's replacement. They were immediately rewarded with a major hit, 'The Sparrow Song', written by the group's own Bruce Woodley." "Sparrow Song" by The Seekers "Sparrow Song" Fly little sparrow High above the clouds, Looking for a place to Lay your weary body down. Fly on little sparrow Northward to the sun, Wonder if you'll ever Find yourself a home. Tell me__Little sparrow Tell me__What do you see? I see a concrete canyon Without a single tree, And it goes winding on for ever Where once proud rivers ran, Oh I hope that I can find One truly happy man. Fly little sparrow High above the clouds, Looking for a place to Lay your weary body down. I seek a land of far horizons Of gentle winds and summer rain, Where the children are not hungry And they've put an end to pain, And I will sing a song of freedom In the arms of a golden tree, Is there such a place on earth For a tiny bird like me? Fly little sparrow High above the clouds, Looking for a place to Lay your weary body down. Yes and fly on little sparrow Northward to the sun, Wonder if you'll ever Find yourself a home.
