about

We can get together. Birds of any feather. Find it all around the world or in your neighborhood. Find it in the spicy stuff that makes the world taste good.

lyrics

09 early birds and night owls

it takes no rocket scientist
to see we're not the same
you enjoy the summer sun
and i'll pray for the rain
but it's no cause for quarrel
we agree to disagree
('cause) when you take your coffee black
there's sugar for my tea

early birds and night owls
they gather every spring
shaking off the winter
gonna get their feathers clean
calling to each other
as they carry on their way
some bring song into the night
some will sing all day

kimmy gets so serious
and johnny, he's a clown
but he can lift her spirits up
and she can calm him down
they seem like oil and water
but nonetheless they're found
sharing in that blessed thing
that makes the world go 'round

here's to gentle nature
and a colorblinded view
planted by the water
the tree shall not be moved
find it all around the world
or in your neighborhood
find it in the spicy stuff
that makes the world taste good
