lyrics

BLACKBIRD

Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life,
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life,
You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly,
Into the light of a dark black night

Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly,
Into the light of a dark black night

You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night.
