A blackbird sits perched on a tree
Beautiful on the outside, with a long, glorious wingspan
But crying and tormented on the inside, wondering can anyone understand?
Wishing and longing to soar free above the clouds
Far Far away from things trying to tear him down and noise so loud
Longing to soar into the sun above
Feeling the warm embrace of the Sun's life giving love
Never to land, never to care
Never to hold onto the pain and the anguish he once bared
Always dreaming to hold his head up high, never letting it drop
Always dreaming to keep flying higher and never wanting to stop
He'll never forget the place from which he came
Never wanting to look back to see if it's still the same
Always looking to the horizon to see what's in store
Knowing that over the horizon he will find so much more
Oh blackbird, oh blackbird, please try to understand
You are more than what you realized than in the eyes of Man
Oh blackbird, oh blackbird, you should now see
That rising above everything can help you be free
Blackbird, you precious gift, never let anyone bring you down
You cant concede, you've come too far to give up now
Blackbird, oh blackbird, in this void you know you cannot stay
As you spread your wings and take flight, I hope that you find your way...
