Lyrics Cassandra Wilson

Cassandra Wilson

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

Oh, blackbird fly, blackbird fly

Into the dark and lonely night

Into the dark and lonely night

Oh, blackbird fly, blackbird fly

Into the dark and lonely night

Into the dark and lonely night

Why don't you take your wings?

Why don't you take your wings

And learn to fly?

Take your wings and learn to fly, fly

Take these wings and learn to fly, fly, fly

Take your wings

Take your wings and learn to fly, learn

Fly, fly, fly, fly
