Beyonce - BLACKBIIRD Lyrics

Beyonce Lyrics

"BLACKBIIRD"
(originally by The Beatles)

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
(You were only waiting for this moment to arise)

Blackbird singing in the dead of night (Dead of night, night)
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see (Learn to see all your life)
All your life (All your life)
You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly (Blackbird, blackbird, fly, fly, fly, fly)
Blackbird fly (Blackbird, blackbird, fly, fly, fly, fly)
Into the light
Of a dark, black night

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

Blackbird fly (Fly, fly)
Blackbird fly (Fly)
Into the light
Of a dark, black night

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly (Learn to fly, learn to fly)
All your life, you were only waiting
For this moment to arise

You were only waiting
For this moment to arise
You were only waiting
For this moment to arise

"BLACKBIIRD" is a remake of the Beatles' 1968 song "Blackbird" from their "White Album". Paul McCartney wrote the song inspired by the American civil-rights movement. McCartney told of writing it in his book "The Lyrics", "At the time in 1968 when I was writing 'Blackbird', I was very conscious of the terrible racial tensions in the US. The year before, 1967, had been a particularly bad year, but 1968 was even worse. The song was written only a few weeks after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. That imagery of the broken wings and the sunken eyes and the general longing for freedom is very much of its moment." Beyoncé put double "ii" in the title to highlight that her album "COWBOY CARTER" is the second long-play in the singer's three-album project.
