Blackbird

Ronnie Hayes

[Verse 1]
Trouble got my woman Lord
The devil's got my soul
The life that I'm forced to live, makes me lose control
Time keep passing by
I feel it day by day (Day by day)
Wings are for those who fly
I heard someone say (Are you listening?)

[Chorus]
But freedom is like a bird yeah
Always on the wings yeah
Tell me children have you heard
A blackbird sing, mmmm
(Tell me more)

[Verse 2]
Life is a poverty
What a first class drag
Be what you wanna be
If you're waving their flag (Tell truth)
Love is the
Children make it tight (I'm telling you)
Don't need a magic wand to makе things right
(Are you listening)

[Chorus]
But freedom is like a bird yеah yeah
Always on the wings yeah
Tell me children have you heard, mmmm
A blackbird sing, yeah
Listen listen to this part here

Black man, red man
The stories the same
This man, that man
Tell me whose to blame (Whose to blame)
Time keep on passing by
I feel it day by day (Every day)
Wings are for those who fly
I heard someone say (Are you listening)

(Freedom, freedom's calling)
Don't you know freedom's calling
(Freedom, freedom's calling)
Don't you know I'm gonna be free one of these days
