Theres a blackbird singing for me
Theres a faint voice calling my name
Theres a fire burning for me
Theres a blackbird singing
It hurts to never be a part
You lie there thinking in the dark
I always wondered what was wrong with my way
I see them soar I see them fly
A piece of heaven at my feet
Im gonna rise from my defeat
Theres a blackbird singing for me
Theres a color I never seen
Theres a net thrown out in the sea
Theres a blackbird singing
So if they try to count me out
Now Im ready for the fight
Dont they know that flowers blossom in the dark
As they sleep their sweetest sleep
Ive been scheming through the night
In the morning Ill be striking back
Theres a blackbird singing for me
Theres a trace of amnesty
Theres a soldier walking with me
Theres a blackbird singing |
