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.

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

  1. I’m having a bit of a problem with the Beatles dedicating this song to Barack Obama. He is coming off of a rather triumphant electoral victory rather than from a beleaguered minority. If you must bring race into it, Obama is not a little meek darkie. (cringe). He is MAHAKALA, but in a good way. I apologize that I sometimes get into an apocalyptical groove. At least his righteous indignation over injustice is constructive. Unlike some.
