Oh songbird in my darkest night
You sing so sweetly I can’t be afraid
Over my path your song casts a light
So bright, so real I won’t lose my way

I set true north by you
And so all directions too
Songbird what did I do before you
What did I do before you

Oh songbird in my weariest day
A few clear notes is all I need
And I see without warning a precious ray
Of magic in each ordinary thing

You illuminate, renew
Take the sad out of the blue
Songbird what would I do without you
What would I do without you

How’d you get so strong, such a little thing
Is it your song that makes you brave
My whole world rests on those tiny wings
But you don’t seem to mind the weight

I set true north by you
And so all directions too
Songbird what did I do before you
What did I do before you
You illuminate, renew
Take the sad out of the blue
Songbird what would I do without you
What would I do without you
