Third Day - Blackbird
Blackbird, why you wearing that frown?
Don't you know Jesus loves you and me
and the preacher on TV 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
Oh yeah, I could listen, all day long
Chorus:
But you're ever hearing, never understanding
Ever seeing, not perceiving and you're heart has grown callous
You're in a strom and lost your way
Won't you fly to heaven and be saved today
Blackbird, now you've 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
Chorus:
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 your candle
But your love doesn't shine
You say you talk to angels
Well I say It's such a lie
Chorus:
