Lyrics

Blackbird

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Blackbird fly

Blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Blackbird fly

Blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night

[Verse 1]

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

[Outro]

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

You were only waiting for this moment to arise
