Blackbird

from Reflection by Low Tide

lyrics

(dedicated to great Nina Simone)

Blackbird flew against all odds
Blackbird flew breaking the bonds

She was afraid she would be lost
She was too scared to pay the cost

But blackbird dreamt of open space
No cage in rust, no prison base

She felt she had no means to fly
But was too tired to cry

She let herself into the rain
Released her wings of rotten chain

That was the time for her to fly
That was the day blackbird flew
