Lyric discussion by broncojohn99 

Firstly, Bob was a Christian. Yes, he did partake in many things, but most of all he belived in the "good book." The "three little birds" refer to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. One biblical message from God is that no one should worry and he will take care of us. Bob is just reminding us that God is always watching and that we should not worry.

No, the three little birds were just that - three little birds. He would clean the seeds out of his marijuana and throw them to the ground, where the birds would swoop down to eat them. It was a peaceful moment of time that made it into the song. Bob was a Rastafarian, not a Christian.
