The Beatles的《Blackbird》的歌詞如下:
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 snow
Behold, your destiny is on the move
All your life
You were only saying what you were gonna do
No one thought you'd come and
No one thought you'd beat the time
Well you did it once
And you'll do it again
Blackbird in the streetlight, ooh ooh
And in the rain and through the floods of tears
Oh oh you must have tried
Oh oh they all laughed at you and then they lined up to agree
But you had taken all your fear and pain and turned it into something blue
So blackbird sing and on you'll go with a broken wing
All your life, and you'll be singing ever after too
Oh, the lines are clear and they are drawn
You stand beside the choice that you have made
Blackbird on the wire, sing out my dear
And never be afraid
Oh oh no more blackbird will be listening to music in the dead of night
Oh oh no more blackbird will be singing in the snow
Oh oh no more blackbird will be on the streetlight in the rain and through the floods of tears
Oh oh no more, no more, no more tears.
這是一首關於自我成長和勇氣的歌曲,表達了人們要擺脫束縛、展現自我,自由地飛翔的思想。
