The willow, it weeps today
A breeze from the distance
Is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Across the horizons
It's coming to sweep you away
It's coming to sweep you away
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird, fly away
May you never be broken again
The fragile can not endure
They're wrecked and jaded
A place so impure
The static of this cruel world
Cause some birds to fly
Long before they've seen their day
Long before they've seen their day
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird, fly away
May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again
Ascend, may you find no resistance
Know that you made such a difference
And all you leave behind
Will live til the end
The cycle of suffering goes on
But the memories of you stay strong
Some day I too will fly
And find you again
-Solos-
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird, fly away
May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again
May you never be broken again
A breeze from the distance
Is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Across the horizons
It's coming to sweep you away
It's coming to sweep you away
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird, fly away
May you never be broken again
The fragile can not endure
They're wrecked and jaded
A place so impure
The static of this cruel world
Cause some birds to fly
Long before they've seen their day
Long before they've seen their day
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird, fly away
May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again
Ascend, may you find no resistance
Know that you made such a difference
And all you leave behind
Will live til the end
The cycle of suffering goes on
But the memories of you stay strong
Some day I too will fly
And find you again
-Solos-
Let the wind carry you home
Blackbird, fly away
May you never be broken again
Beyond the suffering you've known
I hope you find your way
May you never be broken again
May you never be broken again
