Three Little Birds Lyrics

Three Little Birds Song Lyrics


"Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright"
Singing, "Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!"

Rise up this morning, smiled with the rising sun
Three little birds pitch by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Saying, "This is my message to you-ou-ou"

Singing, "Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright"
Singing, "Don't worry about a thing (Don't worry)
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!"

Rise up this morning, smiled with the rising sun
Three little birds pitch by my doorstep
Singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true
Saying, "This is my message to you-ou-ou"

Singing, "Don't worry about a thing (Worry about a thing, oh)
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright (Don't worry)
Singing, "Don't worry about a thing (I won't worry)
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!"
Singing, "Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright (I won't worry)
Singing, "Don't worry about a thing
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!"
Singing, "Don't worry about a thing (Don't worry about a thing)
'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright

"Three Little Birds" by Bob Marley & The Wailers is an anthem of positivity and reassurance, echoing the sentinent that every little thing is going to be alright. Marley's inspiration for the song came from a personal experience, where the presence of three little birds by his doorstep, singing sweet melodies, served as a metaphor for guidance and reassurance​​. This concept underscores the power of maintaining a positive outlook and trusting in the natural course of life to bring about the best outcomes.

The song, released in 1977, has vecome a universally recognized track, spreading a message of hope, positivity, and resilience​​. It encourages listeners to rise above their worries and fears, offering a gentle reminder of the impermanence of life's challenges and the potential for a brighter future awaiting. The iconic chorus, "Don't worry about a thing, 'cause every little thing gonna be alright," serves as a comforting mantra, urging people to find peace amidst turmoil​​.

There's a dual claim regarding the inspiration behind the song. A close friend of Marley, Tony Gilbert, mentioned that Marley was inspired by three actual birds, which were frequently seen by Marley. However, The I Threes, a reggae group providing backing vocals for Marley, claimed the song was inspired by them, as Marley often referred to them as the "Three Little Birds"​​.

The song's simple yet profound lyrics and Marley's smooth melody make "Three Little Birds" a timeless piece, embodying Marley's spiritual beliefs and his message of unity and love. It remains a testament to Marley's legacy, continuing to inspire and uplift audiences worldwide with its message of resilience and optimism​​​​.
