Born into Trouble as the Sparks Fly Upward is the second album by the Canadian band The Silver Mt.

Zion Memorial Orchestra & Tra-La-La Band.

It was released by Constellation Records in October 2001.

The title is drawn from the Book of Job: "Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upwards" (5:7).

"This Gentle Hearts Like Shot Bird's Fallen" was used in the climax to the David Gordon Green film Snow Angels.
