Do you hear the robins sing?

Where you live you say the view is so beautiful.

And the astroturf that's on your lawn

Stays green the whole year around.

And the buildings are so tall they almost reach heaven.

But do you ever ever

Hear the robins sing?

Do you hear the robins singing in the springtime

While a mockingbird sings his happy song?

Is all the beauty in your world

This artificial thing?

Do you ever ever

Hear the robins sing?

Where I live the butterflies

Still kiss the roses

And forgetmenots still grow along the shady lane

And the weeping willow trees still swaying in the breeze

And often I still hear the robins sing.

Do you hear the robins...?

Do you ever ever

Hear the robins sing?
