Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Listen to the blackbird sadly sing
For you
For me
Look at all the pointless suffering
Humanity
[Verse 2]
I am dreaming of a garden
And I see the midnight flight
Of a blackbird, through my vision
To the light
Whoa, to the light
[Verse 3]
She is standing in the doorway
With the love light in her eye
And she beckons me to journey
Through the night
Whoa, through the night
[Verse 4]
Listen to the blackbird sadly sing
For you
For me
Look at all the pointless suffering
Humanity
[Verse 5]
To the people, who are naked
As they breathe in amber haze
Wandering endlessly narcotic
Through the maze
Whoa, through the maze
[Verse 6]
To the leaders, who are timeless
As they flaunt their warlike ways
Flying endlessly o'er the wasteland
Seeking praise
Whoa, seeking praise
[Verse 7]
Listen to the blackbird sadly sing
For you
For me
Look at all the pointless suffering
Humanity
