LYRICS: THREE LITTLE BIRDS
(Robert Nesta Marley)
"Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right! "
Rise up this mornin',
Smile with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Each by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou: ")
Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right! "
Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Each by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou: "
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry! "
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing" - I won't worry!
"'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right" - I won't worry!
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, oh no!
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!

INFORMATION ABOUT THE MOVIE "STRANGE MAGIC" AND ITS COVER OF THE SONG "THREE LITTLE BIRDS"
From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strange_Magic_(film)
"Strange Magic is a 2015 American computer-animated musical fantasy comedy film directed by Gary Rydstrom, produced by Lucasfilm, ... The film's screenplay was written by Rydstrom, David Berenbaum, and Irene Mecchi, from a story by George Lucas inspired by William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.[4] [The film's] score includes popular songs and standards, such as "Love Is Strange".[5]
Plot
Marianne, heir to the throne of the Fairy Kingdom, makes a flower to give to her fiancé, Roland, on their wedding day. She finds him in the middle of the woods and sees him embrace and kiss another fairy girl. Heartbroken, she calls off the wedding and vows to never fall in love again. Some years later, her younger sister Dawn is getting ready for the spring ball. She is nervous that none of the other male fairies will want to dance with her. Sunny, a short elf and her best friend, tries to cheer her up with a song."...

From http://variety.com/2015/film/reviews/film-review-strange-magic-1201410499/
..."In a twist that nods in the direction of “Midsummer” (apparently a key influence on the script by David Berenbaum, Irene Mecchi and first-time feature director Gary Rydstrom), Roland, still bent on winning Marianne’s hand and the crown that comes with it, decides to exploit the good-natured Sunny (Elijah Kelley), a diminutive, ebony-skinned elf who has unrequited feelings for Dawn. Injecting a self-conscious note of ethnic diversity into this cartoon universe, Sunny also happens to be the movie’s most likable character, not least when Kelley’s crooning his way through a cover of Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds.”"...
