Sitting in my house one day
Kind of lonely in a way
Thought I'd take a walk outside
Maybe even take a ride

I don't know, just something new
There was nothing else to do
Grabbed my coat, put on my shoes
Anything to rid the blues

Stepped around behind the house
All was quiet as a mouse
Then I heard a songbird sing
What a pretty sounding ring

As I searched from tree to tree
It kept singing constantly
Sun reflecting deep blue sky
Sounds so sweet, they made me cry

I'm convinced that everywhere
God has much for us to share
Songbirds sent from up above
Blessed by grace, they sing for love
