Long before they've seen their day

Ascending you find your resistance

Blackbird, fly away
May you never be broken again
The wrecked and the jaded
In all you leave behind
May you never be broken again

I hope you find your way
Coming to sweep you away
Let the wind carry you home
Cause some birds to fly

The static of this cruel world
Blackbird, fly away
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Let the wind carry you home
Across the horizons
Long before they've seen their day
It's coming to sweep you away
Beyond the suffering you've known
And find you again

The cycle of suffering goes on
May you never be broken again
Some day I too will fly
A place so impure
You'll live to the end
Let the wind carry you home
May you never be broken again

But the memories of you stay strong
May you never be broken again
You know that you've made such a difference

I hope you find your way
The fragile cannot endure

Is calling your name
May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
Blackbird, fly away
