Blackbird

Paul McCartney – Blackbird (Live Version fom 70s)
  

In 2018, McCartney further elaborated on the song’s meaning, explaining
that “blackbird” should be interpreted as “black girl”, in the context
of the civil rights troubles in southern 1960s US.

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

Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly, into the light of a dark black night

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

You were only waiting for this moment to be free
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
