They chirp/sing to communicate. What you may not know is that, with few exceptions, it is the males that are doing all the chirping/singing. They chirp/sing to attract a mate and to announce their territory. Each day, as soon as possible, the males want to make sure that everyone knows that they are alive and well and ready to defend their territory. What is interesting, although it may all sound the same to us, is that there is some evidence suggesting that each bird has its own unique song and other birds know it.
Another reason why birds chirp/sing at the crack of dawn is that the pre-dawn hours are usually the quietest part of the day.

I thought they chirped to warn us that the sun was coming up?

That is called the morning call. What they are doing is checking off on each other. It would be similar to a census count. They are making sure all is there and all is well.

Because they are happy and ready to eat. Especially the robins.
