Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take those broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
[Verse 2]
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take those sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be arise
[Chorus]
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark, black night
Blackbird fly, well
Blackbird fly, well
Blackbird fly, well
[Verse 3]
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take those broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
[Chorus]
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark, black night
Blackbird fly, well
Blackbird fly, well
Blackbird fly, well
[Bridge]
Blackbird fly
Pretty little blackbird, pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty little blackbird
Spread your wings and take to the sky
Oh, you were waiting for this moment to arise
[Outro]
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Written by: John Lennon, Paul McCartney
