Blackbird / A Quiet Thing

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 Black bird fly Black bird fly Into the light Of the dark black night 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 You were only waiting for this moment You were only waiting for this moment to Arise When it all comes true Just the way you'd planned It's funny But the bells don't ring It's a quiet thing When you hold the world In your trembling hand You'd think you'd hear A choir sing It's a quiet thing There are no exploding fireworks Where's the roaring of the crowds Maybe it's the strange new atmosphere Way up here among the clouds And I don't hear the drums And I don't hear the band The sounds I'm told Such moments bring Happiness comes in on tip-toe Well what'd'ya know It's a quiet thing A very quiet thing
