You may
declare life is unfair,
keeping your share of happiness.
You are to blame, they called your name,
you did not claim your happiness,
you say you're through and you sigh,
how do you know till you try?
Violets from a tiny seed
fight their way up through the weed s.
Violets can do it, why can't you?
Little brooklets, breaking free,
wind their way down to the sea,
little brooks can do it,
why can't you?
Hopes and dreams
are things that life can shatter.
learn to lift your head
an d say it does n't matter.
Birdies sing in cages too.
They know that's the thing to do.
Little birds can do it, why can't you?
Violets from tiny seeds
fight their way up through the weeds.
Violets can do it, why can't you?
And little brooklets, breaking free,
they wind their way down
to the sea.
Little brooks can do it,
why can't you?
Hopes and dreams
are things that life can shatter.
Learn to lift your head
and say, it doesn't matter.
Birdies sing in occasions too.
They know that's the thing to do.
Little birds can do it, why can't you?
