Why you want to fly Blackbird, you ain't ever gonna fly

No place big enough for holding all the tears you're gonna cry

'cause your mama's name was lonely and your daddy's name was pain

And they call you little sorrow 'cause you'll never love again

So why you want to fly Blackbird you ain't ever gonna fly

You ain't got no one to hold you you ain't got no one to care

If you'd only understand dear nobody wants you anywhere

So why you want to fly Blackbird you ain't ever gonna fly.

- Nina Simone
