The Birds They Are-A-Chirpin'

The Birds They Are-A-Chirpin'
The Dawn Has Not Yet Broke
The Spring Is Now A-Bloomin'
To Those Who Just A-Woke

We Splash Our Face With Water
And Brush Our Teeth 'n Hair
We Look Into The Mirror
Before We Say Our Prayer

That Inner Voice Is Calling
He Has Inclined His Ear
We Read Our Bible Verses
And Now We Have No Fear
