Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of the dark black night
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Blackbird, fly
Blackbird, fly
Into the light of a dark black night
[Outro]
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise, you
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Written by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney
