Blackbird

Blackbird, why you wearin' that frown?
 Well, don'tcha know, Jesus loves you and me and the preacher on TV you're puttin' down?
 Blackbird, how I love to hear your songs
 Well, I could spend all of my time in the shade of the trees and listen all day long
 Oh, yeah-yeah, I could listen all day long
 Oh, but you're never hearin', never understandin'
 Never seein', not perceivin' and your heart has grown callous
 You're in a storm and lost your way
 Won'tcha fly to heaven and be saved today?
 Blackbird, now you've broken your wings
 You try to fly high, but you know that you can't go anywhere, you can't do anything
 Blackbird, oh, who put you in your cage?
 Tell me, was it God or was it you or was it me?
 Well, I guess it don't matter anyway
 Oh, no-no, it don't matter, no, not anyway
 Oh, but you're never hearin', never understandin'
 Never seein', not perceivin' and your heart has grown callous
 You're in a storm and lost your way
 Won'tcha fly to heaven and be saved today?
 Oh, yeah, blackbird, yeah
 Well, you say you need a remedy
 For the thorn in your pride
 I think it's such a tragedy
 That you have left Him behind
 Say you light your candle
 But your love light doesn't shine
 You say, you talk to angels
 Well, I say, it's such a lie, yeah
 Yes, it is now, such a lie, lie, lie, lie, lie, lie
 Oh, but you're never hearin', never understandin'
 Never seein', not perceivin' and your heart has grown callous
 You're in a storm and lost your way
 Won'tcha fly to heaven and be saved today?
 Oh, yeah, blackbird, yeah
