Lyrics

Listen to the blackbird sadly sing For you, for me Look at all the pointless suffering Humanity I am dreaming of a garden And I see the midnight flight Of a blackbird, through my vision To the light To the light She is standing in the doorway With the love light in her eye And she beckons me to journey Through the night Through the night Listen to the blackbird sadly sing For you, for me Look at all the pointless suffering Humanity To the people, who are naked As they breathe in amber haze Wandering endlessly narcotic Through the maze Through the maze To the leaders, who are timeless As they flaunt their warlike ways Flying endlessly o'er the wasteland Seeking praise Seeking praise Listen to the blackbird sadly sing For you, for me Look at all the pointless suffering Humanity
