Lyrics for Blackbird

Blackbird singin' in the dead of night Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life You were only waitin' for this moment to arise Blackbird singin' in the dead of night Take these sunken eyes and learn to see All your life You were only waitin' for this moment to be free Blackbird fly, blackbird fly Into the light of the dark black night, yeah Fly, blackbird, fly Blackbird singing in the dead of night, well, well Take these broken wings and learn to fly All your life (your life) You were only waiting for this moment to arise, yeah You were only waiting for this moment to arise, well yeah You were only waiting for this moment to arise, yeah, yeah, yeah Fly on blackbird, fly on Sing on, sing on In the dead of the night, sing on black bird Sing on black bird, sing on Sing on black bird, sing on (sing on) You were only waiting for this moment to arive
