Little Blackbird

O little blackbird,

Why do you hide in the dark?

Are you waiting for something?

Waiting for a spark?

 

O little blackbird,

Do you choose not to take flight?

Or do you stay out of fear?

What has trapped you here?

 

O little blackbird,

Why are your green eyes so wide?

What has been plaguing your mind?

What pains lurk inside?

 

O little blackbird,

Why do you cry, all alone?

Has this world brought too much pain?

Have you no sweet home?

 

O little blackbird,

I hope you can see beauty

In this draining, hopeless life

You will see, truly

 

O little blackbird,

Please do not pluck your feathers

Or clip your delicate wings

Life will get better

 

Fate will bring better things.
