Closed Eyes

The blackbird inside your chest That calls on you to cry You decided it was time for him to fly Out of the darkness and into the light Higher and higher out of sight Whispered inside your heart, tells you let go Time to leave the past, you did what you knew Slow down and rest You've been through a war No one can hurt you anymore Behind closed eyes Memories unfold Hidden secrets, shimmer in gold Behind closed eyes Where the shadows play There's no looking the other way Behind closed eyes There's a song inside your soul Willing to be heard Sing it out loud, you've written every word Oh, out of the silence And into the unknown Louder, louder, let go Behind closed eyes Memories unfold Hidden secrets, shimmer in gold Behind closed eyes Where the shadows play There's no looking the other way Just let the music play Oh, let it play Behind closed eyes Memories unfold Hidden secrets, shimmer in gold Behind closed eyes Where the shadows play There's no looking the other way Just let the music play Behind closed eyes Behind closed eyes Behind closed eyes Where the shadows play There's no looking the other way The blackbird inside your chest Causing you to cry You decided it was time for him to fly
