Morning has broken like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the world
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
And with a broken wing
She still sings
She keeps an eye on the sky
With a broken wing
She carries her dreams
Man, you ought to see her fly
When I’m sad, she comes to me
With a thousand smiles, she gives to me free
“It’s alright,” she says, “It’s alright”
Take anything you want from me, take anything
Anything
Fly on, little wing
'Cause now you’ve got to fly high (fly high)
Fly to the angels
Heaven awaits your heart
And flowers bloom in your name
But how do you wait for heaven?
And who has that much time?
And how do you keep your feet on the ground?
When you know that were you were born
You were born to fly
White bird
Dreams of the aspen trees
With their dying leaves
Turning gold
But the white bird
Just sits in her cage
Growing old
White bird must fly
Or she will die
White bird must fly
Or she will die
Well, I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still
I’m learning to fly but I ain’t got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings
Unheeded warnings, I thought I thought of everything
No navigator to find my way home
Unladened, empty and turned to stone
A soul in tension that’s learning to fly
Condition grounded but determined to try
Can’t keep my eyes from the circling skies
Tongue-tied and twisted, just an earth-bound misfit, I
Sometimes
I feel like I want to live
Far from the metropolis
Just walk through that door
Sometimes
I feel like I want to fly
Reach out to the painted sky
A prisoner to the wind
A bird on the wing
Sometimes
I feel like I want to leave
Behind all these memories
And walk through that door
Outside
The black night calls my name
But all roads look the same
They lead nowhere
They lead nowhere
(hi @Leaffan , you’re missed)
Oh, Black water, oh Black water
Keep on rollin’
Mississippi moon won’t you keep on shinin’ on me…
Somewhere there’s music, how near, how far
Somewhere there’s heaven, it’s where you are
The darkest night would shine if you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart, how high the moon
Don’t ya wanna get higher?
I wanna take you higher
Hey, hey, hey, hey
Boom laka-laka-laka, Boom laka-lak-goon-ka boom
I wanna take you higher
I wanna take you higher
Boom laka-laka-laka, Boom laka-lak-goon-ka boom
Everybody higher, higher, higher
I’ve been from Tucson to Tucumcari
Tehachapi to Tonapah
Driven every kind of rig that’s ever been made
Driven the back roads so I wouldn’t get weighed
And if you give me weed, whites and wine
And you show me a sign
I’ll be willin’, to be movin’
Well, I’m standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona
Such a fine sight to see…
It’s a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford,
Slowing down to take a look at me…
Take it easy
Take it easy…
I’m sittin’ by the side of the road
In the middle of nowhere
I don’t know where I’m going, but
I hope I know it when I get there
Thinkin’ about how it never works out
I guess that’s the way it goes
How this story ends only heaven knows
I don’t know where I’m going,
Don’t know where I’ve been.
'Cause I haven’t seen my baby,
Since I don’t know when.
I’m walking down that long road,
With a smile upon my face.
I’m broken hearted,
But you won’t see a trace.
Here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I’ve ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
And I’ve made up my mind
I ain’t wasting no more time
Walk along to another day
Work a little harder, work another way
Well uh-uh, baby, I ain’t got no plan
Well I float on, maybe would you understand?
Gonna float on, maybe would you understand?
Well I float on, maybe would you understand?
Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Well, don’t you know that no-one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad
I’m just a soul who’s intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
