Rise up this morning
Smile with rising sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Saying this is my message to you
Don’t worry about a thing
‘Cause every little thing
Is gonna be all right
Run to the playground
Laugh with my friends and play
Three little birds
Perch on the swing set
Whistling these words
These harmonies sweet in the air
Sometimes you just need to show you care
And you say
Don’t worry about a thing
‘Cause every little thing
Is gonna be all right
Help in the kitchen
Stirring up delicious fun
Three little birds
Fly by my widow
Chirping out loud
They're reminding us each day
Everyone can make a mistake they say
And they say
Don’t worry about a thing
‘Cause every little thing
Is gonna be all right
Lie down this evening
Wave to the setting sun
Three little birds
Nest in the treetops
Humming soft rhymes
And lullabies, dreams to keep
Whisper, settle now sweet child and sleep
Don’t worry about a thing
‘Cause every little thing
Is gonna be all right
Rise up this morning
Smile with rising sun
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true
Saying this is my message to you
And we say
Don’t worry about a thing
‘Cause every little thing
Is gonna be all right
Don’t worry about a thing
‘Cause every little thing
Is gonna be all right
Yes, every little thing
Is gonna be all right
Yes, every little thing
Is gonna be all right
