The Birds Lyrics - Terence Trent Darby

Horses gallop through the fields 

The flowers blossom in the garden 

Why should I hang on to fear and 

STRESS, STRESS, STRESS 

AND MORE STRESS? 

When just outside 

The birds are singing 

And in my heart 

a bell is ringing 

and life is short 

is what I'm thinking 

when just outside 

the birds are singing! 

Willows swaying in the breeze 

A child is playing by the river 

Showing me that there is more than 

STRESS, STRESS, STRESS 

AND MORE STRESS? 

When just outside 

The birds are singing 

And in my heart 

a bell is ringing 

and life is short 

is what I'm thinking 

when just outside 

the birds are singing! 

I don't want to spend my days 

In misery, anticipating 

Everyday is such an opportunity 

To live in the moment 

Live in the moment! 

Heaven floating in my heart 

Makes me happy and excited 

I'm laughing as I'm letting go of 

STRESS, STRESS, STRESS 

AND MORE STRESS? 

When just outside 

The birds are singing 

And in my heart 

a bell is ringing 

and life is short 

is what I'm thinking 

when just outside 

the birds are singing!
