Cassandra Wilson Blackbird
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
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
Oh, blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the dark and lonely night
Into the dark and lonely night
Oh, blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the dark and lonely night
Into the dark and lonely night
Why don't you take your wings?
Why don't you take your wings
And learn to fly?
Take your wings and learn to fly, fly
Take these wings and learn to fly, fly, fly
Take your wings
Take your wings and learn to fly, learn
Fly, fly, fly, fly
Fly, fly, fly
