Artist/Band: Paul McCartney
Lyrics for Song: Blackbird
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Paul McCartney



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



Blackbird fly, blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night



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



You were only waiting

For this moment to be free

You were only waiting

For this moment to be free


Blackbird - Paul McCartney

Paul McCartney's 'Blackbird' stands as a cornerstone of his solo career, released in 1970 on the album *Ram*. The track is widely recognized for its acoustic guitar-driven arrangement and its poignant lyrics, which draw inspiration from the biblical story of the bird of prey and its fledglings. It serves as a powerful metaphor for the challenges of growing up and the need for parental protection, themes that resonate deeply within the folk-rock genre. The song's gentle melody and heartfelt delivery have cemented its status as a timeless classic, often cited as one of the most influential recordings in McCartney's discography.
