Sing, Little Bird

Sing, little bird,

When the skies are blue,

Sing, for the world

Has need of you.

Sing when the skies are overcast,

Sing when the rain is falling fast.

Sing, happy heart,

When the sun is warm,

Sing in the winter’s

Coldest storm.

Sing little songs, O heart so true,

Sing, for the world has need of you.
