Lyrics

Blackbird (Unplugged)

[Verse 1] Blackbird singin' In the dead of night Take these broken wings And learn to fly (Hmm) All your life You were only waitin' For this moment to arise [Verse 2] Blackbird singin' In the dead of night Take these sunken eyes And learn to see (Hmm) All your life You were only waitin' For this moment to be free [Chorus] Blackbird fly Blackbird fly Into the light Of the dark black night [Verse 3] Blackbird singin' In the dead of night Take these sunken eyes And learn to see (Hmm) All your life You were only waitin' For this moment to be free [Outro] You were only waitin' For this moment to be free You were only waitin' For this moment to be free Thank you Thank you That was "Blackbird"
