Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The willow, it weeps today
A breeze from the distance is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Across the horizons, coming to sweep you away
It's coming to sweep you away
[Verse 2]
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird, fly away
May you never be broken again
[Verse 3]
The fragile cannot endure
The wrecked and the jaded, a place so impure
The static of this cruel world
Cause some birds to fly long before they've seen their day
Long before they've seen their day
[Verse 4]
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird, fly away
May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again
[Verse 5]
Ascend, may you find no resistance
Know that you've made such a difference
And all you leave behind will live till the end
(Will live till the end)
The cycle of suffering goes on
(Goes on)
But the memories of you stay strong
(Goes on)
Someday I too will fly
And find you again
[Verse 6]
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird, fly away
May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again
May you never be broken again
