Sparrow vs.Human

This song, just about did me in today.  Wanted to make me egg heaven.  I'm sure that it's encouraging someone about their upcoming geometry test, but it seems way to bouncy for real world problems like ISIS kidnapping your daughters and selling them into slavery, a Chinese prisoner, beaten and terrorized, a child dying of cancer.  What does this song say to them?  How can they relate to this?  All I can think after hearing this is, "forget the sparrow and help the people!"

 

Ethan says it's because it's ripped out of it's greater context.  I just can't with the "la-la-las".  I remember when my biggest worries were "la-la-la" level. Not anymore.

This one hits a lot closer to where I live these days.
