Look at the way she walks,
the little black bird with no wings.
She hops around the city
looking for what the day may bring.
She never took to pity,
the little black bird with no wings.

She fills me up with hope,
the little blackbird with no wings.
Someone [bad word] her wings in haste.
When I see her my heart stings.

survivor and she's full of grace,
the little black bird with no wings.

Sing little black bird sing, sing your song.
For I can sit here all day long
Wondering what went, what went wrong?
Sing little black bird sing, sing your song.
Take your time for I'm all ears
I've been watching you for all these years.
