You say you want out I know what you mean I call you 'black bird' I call you 'dark queen' The isolation I put you into Is your protection and safety too In your eyes, in your wings There is hunger for skies above high And I know, and you know That you could never fly
Have you ever seen the daylight? Black bird fly Have you ever seen the rainbow? Black bird fly Do you wanna see the moonlight? Black bird fly Do you wanna see the rainbow? Black bird fly
You say I'm crazy I'm doing strange things You pine within walls Although you've got wings But I know, and you know That the sunshine's too bright for your eyes And I know, really know That this world is too cruel So think twice
One night, one day You'll make me cry, you'll fly away One day, one night You'll leave me watching your last flight... 'Cause you could never fly
