    • Verse 1
    You 
    may 

    declare 
    life 
    is 
    unfair, 

    keeping 
    your 
    share 
    of happiness. 

    You 
    are 
    to blame, 
    they 
    called your 
    name, 

    you 
    did not claim 
    your 
    happiness, 

    you 
    say you're through 
    and 
    you 
    sigh, 

    how 
    do 
    you know 
    till 
    you try? 

    Viol
    ets 
    from 
    a tiny 
    seed 

    fight 
    their 
    way up 
    through 
    the 
    weed
    s. 

    Violets 
    can do 
    it, 
    why 
    can
    't you? 

    Little 
    brooklets, 
    breaking 
    free, 

    wind 
    their way 
    down 
    to 
    the sea, 

    little 
    brooks 
    can do 
    it, 

    why 
    can
    't 
    you? 

    Hopes 
    and dreams 

    are 
    things that life 
    can 
    shat
    ter. 

    learn 
    to 
    lift 
    your head 

    an
    d say 
    it does
    n't mat
    ter
    . 

    Bird
    ies sing 
    in 
    cages 
    too. 

    They know 
    that's 
    the thing 
    to 
    do. 

    Little 
    birds 
    can 
    do it, 
    why can't 
    you? 

    Vi
    olets 
    from 
    tiny seed
    s 

    fight 
    their way 
    up through 
    the 
    weeds. 

    Violets 
    can do 
    it, 
    why 
    can't you? 

    And 
    little brooklets, 
    breaking free, 

    they 
    wind their way down 

    to the 
    sea. 

    Little brooks 
    can do it, 

    why 
    can
    't you? 

    Hopes 
    and dreams 

    are 
    things that life 
    can shatter
    . 

    Learn 
    to lift your 
    head 

    and say, 
    it doesn't 
    matter
    . 

    Birdies 
    sing in 
    occasions 
    too. 

    They 
    know that's 
    the thing 
    to 
    do. 

    Little 
    birds 
    can 
    do it, 
    why 
    can
    't 
    you?

      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.
