Black Bird Lyrics and music by Paul McCartney and John Lennon
Blackbird singing in the dead of nightTake these broken wings and learn to flyAll your lifeYou were only waiting for this moment to arise
Black bird singing in the dead of nightTake these sunken eyes and learn to seeall your lifeyou were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, Blackbird flyInto the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly, Blackbird flyInto the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing in the dead of nightTake these broken wings and learn to flyAll your lifeYou were only waiting for this moment to arise,You were only waiting for this moment to arise,You were only waiting for this moment to arise
(Try Evan Rachel Wood's version from the Across the Universe soundtrack. Holy crap on toast.)
