Lyrics

[Verse 1] Trouble got my woman Lord The devil's got my soul The life that I'm forced to live, makes me lose control Time keep passing by I feel it day by day (Day by day) Wings are for those who fly I heard someone say (Are you listening?) [Chorus] But freedom is like a bird yeah Always on the wings yeah Tell me children have you heard A blackbird sing, mmmm (Tell me more) [Verse 2] Life is a poverty What a first class drag Be what you wanna be If you're waving their flag (Tell truth) Love is the Children make it tight (I'm telling you) Don't need a magic wand to makе things right (Are you listening) [Chorus] But freedom is like a bird yеah yeah Always on the wings yeah Tell me children have you heard, mmmm A blackbird sing, yeah Listen listen to this part here Black man, red man The stories the same This man, that man Tell me whose to blame (Whose 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) (Freedom, freedom's calling) Don't you know freedom's calling (Freedom, freedom's calling) Don't you know I'm gonna be free one of these days
