BLACKBIRD

Why don't you wanna fly, blackbird

Why do you stare at your wings, blackbird

Why question your strength, blackbird

Why depressed because of your color, blackbird

Why sobbing because of your status, blackbird

Who named you sorrow

Who crowned you with grief

Who painted you sad

Who caged you 

They just want to curb your prowess

Because you have an inborn strength

Capable of changing humanity

Making the universe a better place

Your black wings glitters in the sun

As they flap, you feel alive

You alone knows your struggle

Give them no say in your battles

But all your life

You have been waiting for this moment to arrive

You have been waiting for this moment to be free

This moment of expression

To show how high you can soar

That moment is here and now

Breaking those shackles of oppression

Age-long oppression 

Coupled with brutality and collectivism

So blackbird, fly........fly, so ya werey ni

Let the fresh falling dew wash your wings

Let no one dull your shine

Soro soke, chip loud, loudest

Let the whole world feel your flight

Let them marvel at the sight of your glittering reflection

Let the oppressors chorus

"Our end is near"
