Blackbirds
Flight of Resilience: Unveiling the Message in Robert Green's Blackbirds
Lyrics
And I, saw the blackbirds fly
Observation of blackbirds in flight
Underneath a colorful, and perfect sky
Contrast between the dark birds and a vibrant sky
And they, let me know that you’re safe
Blackbirds symbolize assurance of safety
That you’re not alone, out there now
Reassurance of not being alone
Pray, for the ones who got away
Call to pray for those who didn't make it
For the children of today
Specifically, praying for the well-being of children
For the things that we don’t say
Emphasis on unspoken matters to be prayed for
Cause we, keep it all inside
Keeping emotions concealed within
Keep a place to hide
Maintaining a secretive refuge
Those thoughts of mine
Reference to internal thoughts held back
I’m ready, I’m ready
Expressing readiness to move on
To leave it all behind
Reiteration of preparedness to leave the past
I’m ready, I’m ready
Affirmation of keeping someone in memory
But I’ll keep you on my mind
Balancing departure with remembrance
I’m ready, I’m ready
Repeated declaration of being prepared to move forward
To leave it all behind
Reaffirmation of the decision to leave behind
I’m ready, I’m ready
Continued expression of readiness for a new phase
Yeah
Final affirmation of being prepared for change
