Blackbird

Blackbird singing in the dead of night Waiting for injustice to subside With your broken walk and beak raised high You won’t stop the fight ‘til truth is nigh Blackbird singing in the dead of night Your wings shelter the fowls from the fright Holding to your faith with your dear life Waiting for the bright sun to arise Blackbird singing in the dead of night Taking down a flag won’t make it right Pointing ever inward towards the light Spread out your wings and take the chance flight Blackbird singing in the dead of night Clinging to the cause with all your might Soaring ever upwards in plain sight Waiting for this moment to arise
