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 arise

Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night
Into the light of the dark black night

Blackbird fly

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life

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
You were only waiting for [Incomprehensible]
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
You were only waiting for [Incomprehensible]

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
You were only waiting for [Incomprehensible]




Blackbird singing in the dead of night
You were only waiting for [Incomprehensible]
