Blackbird by the Beatles


BLACKBIRD 

Beatles song, my art
Black & white acrylic paint on 24" X 36" canvas board 

 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 WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT TO BE FREE

BLACKBIRD FLY, BLACKBIRD FLY
INTO THE LIGHT OF A DARK BLACK NIGHT

BLACKBIRD FLY, BLACKBIRD FLY
INTO THE LIGHT OF A 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 TO ARISE 
YOU WERE ONLY WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT TO ARISE 
YOU WERE ONLY WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT TO ARISE 


I gave this to my physical therapist, Dr Handling, in Newark, Delaware, for his office. My sister-in-law, Dr Rae Todaro, requested a copy for her office.
