[Intro] [fingerpicked steel-string acoustic guitar] [Chorus] [male vocals enter] Ah [vocal harmonies enter] the children aren't worried Ah the children aren't scared [Verse 1] [harmonies exit] The lilies of the field Grow bright and beautiful No one's ever been dressed so well What will I eat? What will I wear? Because sometimes I think that God doesn't care But then I look at the lilies of the field [Chorus] [vocal harmonies enter] Ah the children aren't worried Ah the children aren't scared [Verse 2] [harmonies exit] The birds of the air Don't need any lessons And no one's ever flown so well What does God want? What if I die? Who cares? I'll find the answer if I try Just like the birds of the air [Bridge] No the flowers aren't tired And the birds aren't worried Their tomorrows They take them in stride [Chorus] [vocal harmonies enter] Ah the children aren't worried Ah the children aren't worried The children aren't worried The children of God aren't worried The children of God aren't worried [guitar slows to a final strum]
