When the morning breaks and the light comes flooding
Down on all our lives and the air is singing
Who sings the stars down from the darkness
Who cracks open the dawn

Us! Us! cry the blackbird and the thrush
Us! Us! cry the redbreast robins
Us! Us! cry  a band of wrens
Singing in the fresh green branches
All join in the dawn chorus

No words can describe the music of the tribes of the air
Who sings away the hag of winter
Who sings the sun up into the morning
Who cracks open the dawn

Us! Us! cry the blackbird and the thrush
Us! Us! cry the redbreast robins
Us! Us! cry  a band of wrens
Singing in the fresh green branches
All join in the dawn chorus

All the best musicians were singers
Who sings the sun up into the morning
Sings away the hag of winter
Hearts held high who cracks open the dawn

Us! Us! cry the blackbird and the thrush
Us! Us! cry the redbreast robins
Us! Us! cry  a band of wrens
Singing in the fresh green branches
All join in the dawn chorus

Bathed in glory, the linnet sings with all it's heart and holds nothing back
The turtle dove sings for free
The blackbird sings best from her nest in the blackthorn tree
Without them there is no music
The skylark and the meadowlark, the chaffinch, the chiffchaff
The greenfinch and the goldfinch, they sing for all they are worth
Song thrush and mistle thrush and the wren, the king of all birds
Enchanted cascades of brilliant liquid melody pour from
The bullfinch, crossbill, goldcrest and firecrest
Hawfinch, linnet and the rose finch
Wood warbler and willow warbler
Blackcap, dunnock, garden warbler, redstart, redwing, bluethroat, fieldfare
And a nightingale pouring her liquid notes out over the river in the morning
Stonechat whin-chat, house sparrow, tree sparrow, hedge sparrow
Woodlark, skylark, meadowlark, the mountain lark that sings away the dark
For sheer joy they sing the dawn
Without them there is no music
