Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Blackbird singin' in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You've always waited for this moment to arise

[Verse 2]

Blackbird singin' in the dead of night

Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

All your life

You've always waited for this moment to be free

[Verse 3]

Blackbird fly

Blackbird fly

Into the light of a new, dark night, oh

[Verse 4]

Mmm, mmm

[Verse 5]

Oh, blackbird singin' in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly, oh

All your life

You've always waited for this moment to arise

[Verse 6]

Blackbird fly

Ooh, blackbird fly

Blackbird fly

Ooh, woo (Blackbird fly)

Into the light of a new, dark night

Written by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney
