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 for your 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 for the moment to be free blackbird singing in the dead of night take these empty lungs that cry to sing eventually all your lies the ones you wasted for were only waiting for this moment now your moment passed you by blackbird fly into the light of the dark black night.(lennon/mccartney)
