You say you want out
I know what you mean
I call you 'black bird'
I call you 'dark queen'
The isolation I put you into
Is your protection and safety too
In your eyes, in your wings 
There is hunger for skies above high
And I know, and you know
That you could never fly

Have you ever seen the daylight?
Black bird fly
Have you ever seen the rainbow?
Black bird fly 
Do you wanna see the moonlight?
Black bird fly
Do you wanna see the rainbow?
Black bird fly 

You say I'm crazy
I'm doing strange things
You pine within walls 
Although you've got wings
But I know, and you know 
That the sunshine's too bright for your eyes
And I know, really know 
That this world is too [bad word] So think twice

One night, one day
You'll make me cry, you'll fly away
One day, one night
You'll leave me watching your last flight...
'Cause you could never fly
