Blackbird



I was introduced to this song by my daughter's chorus. Thanks, Ms. Trobaugh. Crazy that I've only heard of it now.

My daughter learned about it at age 10. That's cool.

Here are the lyrics--

Blackbird
The Beatles
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 only waiting for this moment to be free.
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.
Blackbird singing…

My favorite rendition is Sarah McLachlan's: https://youtu.be/o8ac3tEltTU

    My daughter informed me a couple days ago that this is her least favorite song.

    We went to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving and I saw "Boss Baby" with the grandkids. The movie revived this song. The movie was released a month before I heard this song.

What Do I Have To Give?

How long did it take Richard Alpert to become Ram Dass? How long did it take Starbucks to become the company they are now today? How long did it take Facebook to become a successful social media outlet? How long did it take for Michael Crichton to write his first book after leaving medicine? How long did it take for John Grisham to publish his first book after stopping his law practice? How long will my transformation take? Patience is hard to come by. I still feel torn in many directions. I have so much to give. So much to learn. What do I do next?
