Blackbird / A Quiet Thing Lyrics by Lea Salonga

2017

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
Black bird fly
Black bird fly
Into the light
Of the 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
You were only waiting for this moment
You were only waiting for this moment to
Arise
When it all comes true
Just the way you'd planned
It's funny
But the bells don't ring
It's a quiet thing
When you hold the world
In your trembling hand
You'd think you'd hear
A choir sing
It's a quiet thing
There are no exploding fireworks
Where's the roaring of the crowds
Maybe it's the strange new atmosphere
Way up here among the clouds
And I don't hear the drums
And I don't hear the band
The sounds I'm told
Such moments bring
Happiness comes in on tip-toe
Well what'd'ya know
It's a quiet thing
A very quiet thing
