Three Little Birds

I first heard this song as I was teaching it in one of the elem. music books. I used it to teach verse/refrain and reggae. I wasn't really a fan of reggae, but when you hear it constantly in the Bahamas as I did last year, you grow a certain liking for it. I LOVE this song. It has a message that I very much need to hear right now. As I was leaving the gym today, I think I sang/ listened to it about 2-3 times to convince myself of the message.



Three Little Birds Bob Marley

Don’t worry about a thing,
’cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin’: don’t worry about a thing,
’cause every little thing gonna be all right!

Rise up this mornin’,
Smiled with the risin’ sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin’, (this is my message to you-ou-ou:)

Singin’: don’t worry ’bout a thing,
’cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin’: don’t worry (don’t worry) ’bout a thing,
’cause every little thing gonna be all right!

Rise up this mornin’,
Smiled with the risin’ sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin’ sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin’, this is my message to you-ou-ou:

Singin’: don’t worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. don’t worry!
Singin’: don’t worry about a thing - I won’t worry!
’cause every little thing gonna be all right.

Singin’: don’t worry about a thing,
’cause every little thing gonna be all right - I won’t worry!
Singin’: don’t worry about a thing,
’cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin’: don’t worry about a thing, oh no!
’cause every little thing gonna be all right!

I LOVE this song too! It's one of my favorite Bob Marley tunes and never fails to lift my spirits when I hear it. I think it should be my new theme song. . .so I can remind myself not to worry!
