Blackbird
Paul McCartney
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 a dark black night.
Black-bird, fly
Black-bird, fly into the light of a 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 to arise.
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
