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
