Take these broken wings and learn to fly

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird - The Beatles (Lyrics)
-----------------------

Intro

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

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night

Solo: (1 verse)

Blackbird fly, Blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night

Instrumental

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

You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
