Letra Blackbird

Blackbird foi inspirada parcialmente pela luta pelos direitos civis nos EUA e a desigualdade racial. McCartney queria escrever uma música que pudesse ser um hino de esperança para a comunidade negra.

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

Black-bird, fly
Black-bird, fly
Into the light of the dark black night


Black-bird, fly
Black-bird, fly
Into the light of the dark black night


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
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
