Blackbird

Troubles, got no woman, Lord

The Devil's got my soul

The life that I'm forced to live

Makes me lose control

Time keep passin' by

I feel it day by day (Day by day)

Wings are for those who fly

I heard someone say (Are you listening?)

But freedom is like a bird, yeah, yeah

Always on the wings, yeah

Tell me, children, have you heard

A blackbird sing?

(Tell me more)

Life is this poverty

What a first class drag

(Here's the scoop) Be what you wanna be

If you're wavin' their flag

(Tell the truth) Love is the common bond

Children make it tight

(I'm tellin' you) Don't need a magic wand

To make things right (Are you listening?)

But freedom is like a bird, yeah, yeah

Always on the wings, yeah

Tell me, children, have you heard

A blackbird sing? Yeah, listen this part here

Black man, red man

The story's the same

This man, that man

Tell me who's to blame? Yeah, yeah (Who's to blame?)

Time keep on passin' by

I feel it day by day (Every day)

Wings are for those who fly

I heard someone say (Are you listening?)

Oh (Freedom, freedom's callin')

Don't you know that freedom's callin' you? Yeah, yeah

(Feel it day by day) Everybody listen, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Freedom, freedom's callin')

Don't you know I'm gonna be free one of these days, yeah, yeah

(It's the only way)

(Freedom, freedom's callin')

It won't be no more fussin', no more fussin' and fightin' yeah, yeah

(Feel it day by day) Everybody gonna join hands

(Freedom, freedom's callin')

We'll walk this world one day, yeah, yeah

(It's the only way) Everybody's got to be free, free, free, free, free
