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?
