Third Day Album: Chronology, Volume 1 Track: Blackbird
Blackbird Lyrics
Blackbird, why you wearing that frown? Don't you know Jesus loves you and me And the preacher on T.V. you're putting down
Blackbird, how I love to hear your songs I could spend all of my time in the shade Of the trees and listen all day long
Chorus: But you're ever hearing, never understanding Ever seeing, not perceiving and your heart Has grown callous You're in a storm and lost you way Won't you fly to heaven and be saved today
Blackbird, now you're broken your wing You try to fly high but you know that you Can't go anywhere, you can't do anything
Blackbird, who put you in your cage Tell me, was it God or was it you Was it me? I guess it don't matter anyway
Repeat Chorus
(Bridge) 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
You say you'd light you candle But your love light doesn't shine You say you talk to angels Well I say it's such a lie
