about

BEHIND THE SONG: "Written in the shadow of Mt. Chocorua in Tamworth, New Hampshire. The mountain was so impressed, it has maintained a stunned and reverent silence ever since. The song is a statement of purpose." ~ David Olney

lyrics

Little Bird (It's What I Do) written by David Olney (Red Lilly Music, ASCAP)

Little bird
Little bird
High up in the tree
Little bird
Little bird
Why do you sing to me?

It's what I do
And what I do
I do all summer long
I'm a little bird
This is my song

Winter wind
Winter wind
You howl and you moan
Winter wind
Winter wind
And chill me to the bone

It's what I do
And what I do
I do all winter long
I'm the winter wind
This is my song

Anyone, anyone
Every anywhere
Born into this precious life
To breath this holy air

It's what I do
And what I do
I do my whole life long
This is who I am
This is my song

It's what I do
And what I do
I do my whole life long
This is who I am
This is my song
