Lyrics
Trouble's got my woman, Lord
The devil's got my soul
The life that I'm forced to live
Makes me lose control
Time keeps passing by
I feel it day by day (Day by day)
Wings are for those who fly
I heard someone say (Are you listening?)
But freedom is like a bird, yeah, yeah
Always on the wing, yeah
Tell me children, have you heard
A blackbird sing? (Tell me more)
Life is Miss Poverty
What a first class drag (Here's the score)
Be what you wanna be
If you're waving their flag (Tell the truth)
Love is the common bond
Children make it tight (I'm telling you)
Don't need a magic wand
To make things right (Are you listening?)
But freedom is like a bird, yeah, yeah
Always on the wing, yeah
Tell me children, have you heard
A blackbird sing? Yeah
Listen to this part here
Black man, red man
The story's the same
This man, that man
Tell me who's to blame, yeah (Who's to blame?)
Time keep on passing by
I feel it day by day (Every day)
Wings are for those who fly
I heard someone say (Are you listening?)
Oh (Freedom, freedom's calling)
Don't you know that freedom's calling, yeah, yeah (Day by day)
Everybody listen, yeah, yeah, yeah (Freedom, freedom's calling)
Don't you know I'm gonna be free one of
These days, yeah, yeah (It's the only way)
It won't be no more fussing (Freedom, freedom's calling)
No more fussing and fighting (Day by day)
Everybody gonna join hands (Freedom, freedom's calling)
And walk this world one day, yeah, yeah (It's the only way)
Everybody's got to be free, free, free
Free, free (Freedom, freedom's calling)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Day by day)
Oh, yeah
