Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly
Blackbird fly
Into the light of a dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Before I am black
Before I am woman
Before I am short
Before I am young
Before I am African
I am Human
Before I am black
Before I am woman
Before I am short
Before I am young
Before I am African

Never knowing in the dark, in the light, when the world will change
Eliminating all the far, all the sadness in the falling rain
Touch my heart, touch my soul, lead me into the light of the day
Time slips ever fast, instantly becoming the past
Chorus:
You've gotta find your way before it's too late
Endless sky, yours and mine, for to see all our dreams to come
With all you see, focus your energies on what is to be done
Live your life, love yourself, know that everything has just begun

You touched my hand
Said, 'Follow me
I'll be your eyes when you cannot see'
Now the only blindness that I'm gonna choose
Is ignorance to all your misuse
There was a time when you held all the cards
And you dealt them all evenly 'cause I couldn't see
You read my mind
Left yourself so hard to find
I thought you knew me better than I knew myself
Spend your time cutting me down
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down [you touched my hand]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down [I'll be your eyes]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
I could try talkin' to you but I already learned all I need to
Spend your time cutting me down
Don't listen to a word then you throw me a frown
To catch the eye of a stranger is nothing new
I was just waitin' for something to do
It was a twisted pair but now I'm through
Spend your time cutting me down [you touched my hand]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [said it's faith that will carry]
Spend your time cutting me down [I'll be your eyes]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down [you read my mind]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [left yourself so hard to find]
Spend your time cutting me down [I thought you knew me better]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [than I knew myself]
You touched my hand
Said, 'Follow me
I'll be your eyes when you cannot see'
Now the only blindness that I'm gonna choose
Is ignorance to all your misuse
It's faith that will carry
It's faith that will carry
You read my mind
Left yourself so hard to find
I thought you knew me better than I knew myself
Spend your time cutting me down
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down [you touched my hand]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [said, 'Follow me]
Spend your time cutting me down [I'll be your eyes']
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry
Spend your time cutting me down [you read my mind]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [left yourself so hard to find]
Spend your time cutting me down [I thought you knew me better]
When it's plain to see it's faith that will carry [than I knew myself]
You touched my hand
Said, 'Follow me
I'll be your eyes when it's plain to see it's faith that will carry'

Chorus:
Don't go near the water if you don't like to swim
'Cause somebody just might try and push you in
Well now, how many times have I told you
Not to get your feet wet
If you don't like the water on you
My baby baby baby get back
Chorus
See just because it may look good
It don't mean you always have to indulge
'Cause that's when it happens
And you never know you might fall overboard
Chorus
I hope you're listening to what you hear
'Cause I would never tell you no wrong
But you don't have to believe me

Walking away was the best thing I could ever do
Once you make your decision, your decision is made
When we find ourselves up in arms more often than most
By then we know it's time to go
And walking away was the best thing that I could ever do
Chorus:
It's 11th hour (4x)
La la la la la (3x)
I'm so glad time and space was shared together
Songs were sung and laughter filled the air
But just as life is long, we must move on
And chart our own course to the rising sun
Chorus

The reality of it all is that reality is
What it is or what we think it is
Why are things the way they are?
Who said that the sky was in fact the sky?
And not the ground that we should walk upon
It makes you wonder
Why is green green? What if it's really blue?
And is what we think we think really true?
It is said that I think, therefore I am
Are we really thinking? Oh
There's something going on and I don't know what it is
There's a change taking place in my mind
And I don't know how I lived, yeah yeah
Before the doors were opened to the house of wisdom
What do you know about the chosen man?
And where in fact, where in fact is the Promised Land?
It is said that I think, therefore I am
Are we really thinking? Oh
There's something going on and I don't know what it is
There's a change taking place in my mind
And I don't know how I lived, yeah yeah
Before the doors were opened to the house of wisdom
If we are here, then where is there?
And if in fact we're here, then why aren't we there?
It is said I think, therefore I am
Are we really, really, really, really thinking?
There's something going on and I don't know what it is
There's a change taking place in my mind
And I don't know how I lived
Before the doors were opened and I don't know how I lived
Before the doors were opened and I don't know how I lived
Before the doors were opened to the house of wisdom
To the house of wisdom, to the house of wisdom
To the house of wisdom
Yeah I said yeah ooh
Aah ooh oh
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
La la la la la, la la la la la
The reality of it all is that reality is
What it is or what we think it is
Why are things the way they are?
Who has taught us all that we know now
And is it for real?
It makes you wonder, it makes me wonder

[Chorus:]
Stop to think before you blow it
'Cause if you think you don't it will lead
You down the path to the end of your life
So - I finally got you hooked
Now you've become a crook
And your life belongs to me
Yo - you'll do anything to get me
How much you want to bet me
'Cause I'm pure ecstacy
You started spending up your money
Now you're cold and hungry
'Cause you have no place to live
Yep - life is getting kinda harder
Out there beggin' for a dollar
But nobody will give
[Chorus]
See - I told you life would get much harder
You thought you were smarter
But I'm always in control
Oh yes - so many out there love me
They can't get enough of me
Just one hit and then they're sold
They told you not to try me
Said you would never be free
There'd be something missing
Now you're hanging on the corner
Beggin' for a dollar

Every thing's so crystal clear now
All I needed was time
Oh, every thing's so crystal clear now
I've cleaned my mind
Now the sky has opened
There are no limits to this
Let me feel the passion
That I know exists when you're with me
'Cause I can feel it when you look at me
And baby, that's about the time
Your lips touch mine
Feels so good when we intertwine
Like the motion of the ocean
The feeling's like no other
Passion, passion is with me
Touch my heart, touch my soul
Lead me into the light of a new day
Touch my heart, touch my soul
Lift me up into the wonder of ecstasy
Well, I am here to explore
Do as it pleases us
And there'll be no resistance
So come on in and let nature take it's course
This is what we've been waiting for
And baby, that's about the time
Your lips touch mine
Feels so good when we intertwine
Like the motion of the ocean
The feeling's like no other
Passion, passion is
Passion, passion is, is with
Come on, come on, come on, come on
[Incomprehensible]
Now, now that's about the time
Your lips touch mine
It feels so good
That's about the time
Your lips touch mine
It feels so good
Passion
Every thing's so crystal clear
Passion
You know in me
Passion
Passion
Passion
You know in me
You to [Incomprehensible]

And it's not gonna work this time
Not gonna work this time
I know what you're doing yeah
I could never sing in that key
I know what you're doing yeah
And you're the one to blame
I know what you're doing yeah
I know why you can't forgive me
I know why you're singing lost love
The lyrics haven't changed
I can recognize the symptoms
You should know I've changed my mind
I know what you're doing
And it's not gonna work this time
Said it's not gonna work this time
Not gonna work this time
Not gonna work this time
I know what you're doing baby
I know why you call my name
I know why you say you love me
But I can't say the same
I can recognize the symptoms
You should know I've changed my mind
I know what you're doing

Hello morning, now when does the fun begin
Goodbye morning, sorry it had to end
But see I cried just a little too long
Now it's time for me to be strong
Hello morning, I sure missed you last night
Goodbye morning, you just won't do me right
I stayed just a little too long
Now it's time for me to move on
They say I'm hopeless, as a penny wit a hole in it
Penny wit a, penny wit a hole in it, yeah, yeah, yeah
They say I'm no less, no less, no less, no less, no less
Than up to my head in it
Bah (17 times), hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hello yesterday, I sure need you now
Goodbye yesterday, I just can't stay around
You see I cried just a little too long
Now it's time for me to be strong
Hello yesterday, remember how it used to be
Goodbye yesterday, I can't take you with me
No, no, no I can't
You see I stayed just a little too long
And now it's time for me to move on
They say I'm hopeless, hopeless, hopeless, yeah
As a penny wit a hole in it
They say I'm no less, no less, no less, no less, no less, no less
Than up to my head in it
Yeah, yeah, they say I'm hopeless, hopeless
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
As a penny wit a hole in it
Penny, penny, penny wit a hole in it, hole in it, yeah
They say I'm no less, no less, no less, no less, no less
Than up to my head in it
Bah (17 times)
hey, hey, hey

Faced with a challenge of finding right and wrong
In a brand new world that recognizes none, yeah
It's hard for me to believe in all my travels
I'm the only one, the only one
Using food for thought and thought for food
All I have is my attitude, the hour glass, my ever changing moods
Using food for thought and thought for food
All I have is my attitude, the hour glass, my ever changing moods
Faced with a challenge of doing all the novel talk
Wondering how to pay for the, the things my mouth has bought
Yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Wanting to say the right things whenever I talk
I changed the way I stood and the way I walked, yeah yeah
Using food for thought and thought for food
All I have is my attitude, the hour glass, ho, my ever changing moods
Using food for thought and thought for food
All I have is my ever changing moods, the hour glass
My ever changing attitude
Lord, hey
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Lord, help me find my way
Help me find my way
So that I may go forward
And lead the way
Want to lose the negative but all I lose is time
There's a constant battle going on
The chained heart and mind, who's winning?
Faced with a challenge of knowing right from wrong
Having no preference or allegiance to either one, hoo
Using food for thought and thought for food
All I have is my attitude, the hour glass, my ever changing moods
Using food for thought and thought for food
All I have is my ever changing moods, the hour glass
My ever changing attitude
Ooh hoo
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Wondering am I the only one?
Am I the only one?
Am I the only one?
Am I the only, only, only, only, only one?
Using food for a thought
All I lose is time
All I lose is time, all I lose is time, all I lose

She screams out every night in a billion tears
In desperate fear that you're somewhere near
Faulting her action for all that's occurred
Wanting to tell all, never saying a word
Because she believes you're her hero
She wants to believe you still love her
But if you persist, she just might hurt you
So I suggest you refrain and don't ever touch me (again)
Chorus:
DON'T EVER TOUCH ME (AGAIN)
Trying to regain a sense of reality
Only inches away from pure insanity
Releasing the anger, the hurt, heartache and rage
No more feeling like an animal stalked, trapped and caged
Because she believes she's a survivor
She knows that she's on the right track
But just you remember she's a beginner
So I suggest you refrain and don't ever touch me (again)
Chorus
Haunted by the ghost of the thing left to past
In fear of the presence, the power it has
Realizing there's always a calm before the storm
But there's no one left to keep her from harm
Because she is unable to distinguish one from another
All she knows is she's not going to let it happen again

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Please tell me what is going on
What have I done to you
To make you feel so blue?
I know something has gone wrong
I can see it in your eyes
There is no need to lie
If I am truly your friend
Maybe we don't agree
But you can come to me
You know I'm here until the end
Oh, and if I can ease the pain
I'll make you see a brighter day
Either now or later
Either now or later
Either now or later, yeah
Either now or later
Yeah yeah yeah, ooh
I don't wanna pressure you
I know you need some time
To search and try to find
So put all your thoughts into view
And you will soon believe
Anything you can achieve
I hate to see you feel this way
'Cause all your misery
Is killing me, baby
Things will change if not today
Oh, look to the Heavens up above
And there is where you'll find your love
Either now or later
Either now or later
Either now or later
Either now or later
Go again, go again
Go again, go again
Either now or later
I want to be your friend till the end, oh
Either now or later
Wanna have you
You're my, you're my friend
Either now, either now
Either now or later, ooh
Yeah, oh yeah
Oh yeah, either now, oh
Either now or later, later, baby, yeah
Ooh, ooh
Now I'm gonna do you either now or later
One full time, here we go
Either now or later, ooh

She screams out every night in a billion tears
In desperate fear that you're somewhere near
Faulting her action for all that's occurred
Wanting to tell all never saying a word
Because she believes you're her hero
She wants to believe that you love her
But if you persist, she just might hurt you
So I suggest you refrain and don't ever touch me again
(Don't ever touch me again)
Don't ever touch me again
(Don't ever touch me again)
Don't ever touch me again
You're trying to regain a sense of reality
Only inches away from pure insanity
Releasing the anger, the hurt, heartache and rage
No more feeling like an animal stalked, trapped and caged

But just you remember she's a beginner

(Don't ever touch me again)
Don't ever touch me again
(Don't ever touch me again)
Don't ever touch me again
(Don't ever touch me again)
Don't ever touch me again
Haunted by, haunted by, haunted by, haunted by
Haunted by, haunted by the ghost of the thing left to past
In a fear of the presence the power it has
Realizing there's always a calm before the storm
But there's no one left to keep her from harm
Because she is unable to distinguish one from another
All she knows is she's not gonna let it happen again
You should have left this one alone
But I bet you won't ever touch her again
(Don't ever touch me again)
Don't ever touch me again
(Don't ever touch me again)
Don't ever touch me again
(Don't ever touch me again)
Don't ever touch me again
