Simple Things
[Verse 1]
Them happy birds…
Cockatiel singing away
Sun through the window —
spilling into the day
Head tilt rhythm
Feathers catching the light…
A tiny burst of music
everything feels right
[Pre-Chorus]
phrasing]
No clock — no rush — no plan
Just this song… and where I am
[Chorus]
Sing it out, little bird
Brightest song I’ve ever heard
Chirp it high — chirp it free
You… and your melody

Sing it out, don’t slow down
Turn this quiet room to sound
Happy wings
happy beat
dancing on your tiny feet
[Verse 2]
Climb and hop from bar to bar
like you’re traveling very far
Tilt your head like you know…
The unknown
You don’t measure time at all
you just answer every call
[Bridge]
Whistle… pause… whistle again…
Notes that don’t know where they end
I try to follow where you lead —
just sing what I feel, not what I need
[Final Chorus]
Sing it out, little bird
Best small song I’ve ever heard
Chirp it bright — chirp it true
Little teacher… teaching me too

[Outro]
