Blackbird, why you wearing that frown?
Don't you know Jesus loves you and me
and the preacher on T.V. you're putting down
Blackbird, how I love to hear your songs
I could spend all of my time in the shade
of the trees and listen all day long
<i>Chorus:</i>
But you're ever hearing, never understanding
Ever seeing, not perceiving and your heart
has grown callous
You're in a storm and lost you way
Won't you fly to heaven and be saved today
Blackbird, now you're broken your wing
You try to fly high but you know that you
can't go anywhere, you can't do anything
Blackbird, who put you in your cage
Tell me, was it God or was it you
Was it me? I guess it don't matter anyway
<i>Repeat chorus</i>
<i>(Bridge)</i>
You say you need a remedy
for the thorn in your pride
I think it's such a tragedy
That you have left Him behind
You say you'd light you candle
But your love light doesn't shine
You say you talk to angels
Well I say it's such a lie
<i>Repeat chorus</i>
Don't you know Jesus loves you and me
and the preacher on T.V. you're putting down
I could spend all of my time in the shade
of the trees and listen all day long
But you're ever hearing, never understanding
Ever seeing, not perceiving and your heart
has grown callous
You're in a storm and lost you way
Won't you fly to heaven and be saved today
You try to fly high but you know that you
can't go anywhere, you can't do anything
Tell me, was it God or was it you
Was it me? I guess it don't matter anyway
You say you need a remedy
for the thorn in your pride
I think it's such a tragedy
That you have left Him behind
But your love light doesn't shine
You say you talk to angels
Well I say it's such a lie

Third day rules!! i love there songs, and there style, althought i dont agree with some of there beliefs, there music still rocks and i could listen to it all day, oh yeah, this song is about someone thats fallen away from Christ, and they dont know why, or how to get them back

This song is about The Black Crowes
the black crowes were a big influence to the whole band. but i suspect that the band (black crowes) was a sort of frustration to third day. kinda where the lines "ever hearing never understanding ever seeing, not perceiving and your heart has grown calloused." i know that is found somewhere in scripture but it applies to alot of people. they do a really cool live version of this to the music of "remedy".
I like third day and they play some of their songs at Church and my dad really likes them too. i probably could listin to this song a lot too. I've only heard a couple of their songs but i like them
