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. [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/b/beatles/blackbird.html ]
Blackbird fly blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
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.
This song was meant for the civil rights movement, but can be used for all situations. When there is a need to pick up everything and move on, leave what was there behind and go on to the next thing in your life. To take control, to start a new chapter, there are endless possibilities of situations this song could stand for.
When i was a little girl and my older sister and i couldn't sleep, my dad used to take out his acoustic guitar and play us songs. This was the one that always made me fall asleep, and it was the memory of that that made me want to play guitar too, last summer. My dad is now giving me lessons, but this one i learned on my own.
