    Verse 1
    Their spirits 
    soar 
    on 
    high 

    They 
    wing 
    with 
    birds 
    that 
    float 
    on 
    by 

    Your 
    love 
    and mine 

    Their spirits 
    with 
    the 
    breeze 

    That 
    gently 
    plays 
    the 
    summer 
    leaves 

    Your 
    love 
    and 
    mine 

    Verse 2
    Life 
    is 
    a 
    bird 
    in 
    the 
    sky 

    Life 
    is 
    the 
    breeze 
    blowing 
    by 

    Time 
    picked 
    the 
    words 

    Time 
    picked 
    the songs 

    But 
    we 
    sang 
    them 
    wrong 

    Verse 3

    Their spirits 
    with 
    the 
    rain 

    That 
    feeds 
    the wheat 
    and 

    weeds 
    the same 

    Your 
    love 
    and 
    mine 

    Verse 4

    The sun 
    their 
    spir
    its 
    light 

    That 
    feels 
    and 
    warm
    s 

    both 
    black 
    and 
    white 

    Your 
    love 
    and 
    mine 

    Verse 5

    Life 
    is 
    the 
    rain 
    from 
    on 
    high 

    Life 
    is 
    the sun 
    in 
    the 
    sky 

    Time 
    picked 
    the words 

    Time 
    picked 
    the songs 

    We 
    were 
    the 
    choir 

    But 
    we 
    sang 
    them 
    wrong 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 6
    Their spirits 
    bless 
    the 
    cruel 

    The 
    intel
    lec
    tual, 
    the fool 

    Your 
    love 
    and mine 

    Verse 7

    Their spirits 
    point 
    the 
    way 

    But 
    who 
    has 
    no
    ticed, 
    who 
    will say 

    Your 
    love 
    or 
    mine? 

    Verse 8
    Life 
    is 
    a soft 
    lul
    laby 

    Soothing 
    a child 
    as 
    it 
    cries 

    But it 
    cries 
    in 
    pain 

    Time 
    wrote 
    the 
    songs 

    We 
    hear 
    the 
    cry 

    And still 
    we 
    sing 
    wrong

      Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      "

      I’ve downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

      Well-Designed App

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

      Got me back into playing

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.
