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
