Give me birdsong in the morning
and give me silence after snow
and give me strumming in the evening
The sounds my true heart knows
The sounds my true heart knows
And give me dancing in the doorway
and give me singing at the stove
and give me laughter in the traffic
Give me lightness for the road
Give me lightness for the road
And give me a hammer for the building
and give me an axe for the tearing down
and give me plaster for the mending
Give me a home the world around
Give me a home the world around
And give me birdsong in the morning
and give me silence after snow
and give me strumming in the evening
The sounds my true heart knows
The sounds my true heart knows
