Blackbird, why you wearing that frown? Don't you know Jesus loves you and me And the preacher on TV you're putting down? Blackbird, how I love to hear your songs But I could spend all of my time in the shade Of the trees and listen all day long Oh yeah, I could listen all day long But you're ever hearing, never understanding Ever seeing, not perceiving and your heart has grown callous You're in a storm and lost your way Won't you fly to heaven and be saved today? Blackbird, now you're broken your wing You try to fly high but you know that you Can't go anywhere, you can't do anything Blackbird, who put you in your cage Tell me, was it God or was it you or was it me? Well I guess it don't matter anyway No no, it don't matter, no, not anyway But you're ever hearing, never understanding Ever seeing, not perceiving and your heart has grown callous You're in a storm and lost your way Won't you fly to heaven and be saved today? Oh yeah, blackbird yeah You say you need a remedy For the thorn in your pride I think it's such a tragedy That you have left Him behind You say you'd light you candle But your love light doesn't shine You say you talk to angels Well I say it's such a lie Yes it is now, such a lie, lie, lie Oh but you're ever hearing, never understanding Ever seeing, not perceiving and your heart has grown callous You're in a storm and lost you way Won't you fly to heaven and be saved today? Oh yeah, blackbird yeah
