Six years old and singing "Consider the Lilies"

The song is about lilies. The garden is full of irises. Claire Crosby, age six, smiles her way through both. more

Her parents share her covers of classic songs, and "You've Got a Friend in Me" is the one that helped make her a household name. She has also appeared on several TV shows, including The Ellen DeGeneres Show. This time the song is quieter, an old hymn, and she sings it along with her dad.

It opens on soft music before her voice comes in. "Consider the lilies of the field," she sings. "How they grow, how they grow." Then come the birds in the sky, and how they fly.

Her dress is cream lace with ruffled sleeves. She walks through blooming irises and green leaves in soft daylight, smiling as she goes.

The song is about lilies.

The verses move from flowers and birds to sheep that follow where they're led, across the mountains to the meadows where they feed. Each time, the chorus comes back to the same promise, that he'll feed those who trust him and guide them.

The last verse turns to children who suffer, and the chorus shifts with it. Now it's about healing, and about making hearts as gold. That's heavy material for someone who is six.

The chorus comes around one more time, ending on hearts as gold. Then the song settles back into the soft music it started with.
