Listen to the blackbird sadly sing
For you, for me
Look at all the pointless suffering
Humanity
I am dreaming of a garden
And I see the midnight flight
Of a blackbird, through my vision
To the light
To the light
She is standing in the doorway
With the love light in her eye
And she beckons me to journey
Through the night
Through the night
Listen to the blackbird sadly sing
For you, for me
Look at all the pointless suffering
Humanity
To the people, who are naked
As they breathe in amber haze
Wandering endlessly narcotic
Through the maze
Through the maze
To the leaders, who are timeless
As they flaunt their warlike ways
Flying endlessly o'er the wasteland
Seeking praise
Seeking praise
Listen to the blackbird sadly sing
For you, for me
Look at all the pointless suffering
Humanity
For you, for me
Look at all the pointless suffering
Humanity
I am dreaming of a garden
And I see the midnight flight
Of a blackbird, through my vision
To the light
To the light
She is standing in the doorway
With the love light in her eye
And she beckons me to journey
Through the night
Through the night
Listen to the blackbird sadly sing
For you, for me
Look at all the pointless suffering
Humanity
To the people, who are naked
As they breathe in amber haze
Wandering endlessly narcotic
Through the maze
Through the maze
To the leaders, who are timeless
As they flaunt their warlike ways
Flying endlessly o'er the wasteland
Seeking praise
Seeking praise
Listen to the blackbird sadly sing
For you, for me
Look at all the pointless suffering
Humanity
