The blackbird inside your chest
That causing you to cry
You decided it was time
For him to fly
Out of the darkness and into the light
Higher and higher out of sight
Whisper inside your heart
Just you let go
Time to leave the past you did
What you knew
Slow down and rest
You've been through a war
No one can hurt you anymore
Behind closed eyes
Memory unfolded
Hidden secret, shimmer in gold
Behind closed eyes
Where's the shadows play
There's no looking the other way
Behind closed eyes
There's a song inside your soul
Willing to be heard
Sing it out loud, you've written every word
Oh, out of the silence
And into the unknown
Louder, louder, let go
Behind closed eyes
Memory unfolded
Hidden secret, shimmer in gold
Behind closed eyes
Where's the shadows play
There's no looking the other way
Just like music play
Oh, let it play
Behind closed eyes
Memory unfolded
Hidden secret, shimmer in gold
Behind closed eyes
Where's the shadows play
There's no looking the other way
Just like music play
Behind closed eyes
Behind closed eyes
Behind closed eyes
Where's the shadows play
There's no looking the other way
The blackbird inside your chest
That causing you to cry
You decided it was time
For him to fly
