Blackbird lyrics
by Third Day



Blackbird, why you wearing that frown?Don't you know Jesus loves you and me and the preacher on T.V. you're puttingdownBlackbird, how I love to hear your songsI could spend all of my time in the shade of the trees and listen all day longChorusBut you're ever hearing, never understandingEver seeing, not perceiving and your heart has grown callousYou're in a storm and lost your wayWon't you fly to heaven and be saved todayBlackbird, now you've broken your wingYou try to fly to high but you know that you can't go anywhere, can't doanythingBlackbird, who put you in your cage?Tell me was it God or was it you?Was it me? I guess it don't matter anyway(Chorus)BridgeYou say you need a remedy for the thorn in your prideI think it's such a tragedyThat you have left him behindYou say you'd light your candleBut your love light doen't shineYou say you talk to angelsWell I say it's such a lie(Chorus)
