Black Sheep Optimists - The Feeling Lyrics

Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
I've been waiting on this moment
To let go of what I'm holding
So let's open up and show them how we roll
When I wake up in the morning I thank god for this moment
See my future like the sky my horizon is golden
Holding on to the feeling - of finally letting go
My heart is skipping beats but we rock steady like a metronome
So let's drift away
And ride the tide til we're home, we can rest these bones
I was broken whole like the blackbird
But now I'm fixing to be repairing these wings until my last word
And watch me fly away and maybe that hurts
But if I stay in place I'm moving backwards
Steady forgetting and resetting like a password
I'll take the change cuz in the end what is your cash worth
Feeling whole again
Keep it on the mend
And fly free my friend
The song may change but the soul stays same
Just listen to the blackbird say
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
I've been waiting on this moment
To let go of what I'm holding
So let's open up and show them how we roll
It's been a long time coming
It's something esteemed
Walking on the cusp of combustible dreams
I've been tearing down foundations
I've been breaking the beams
I had to learn to spill my guts and stitch it up at the seams
I've been tossed in the metropolis, lost into the populace
But through all the chaos the birdsong was cacophonous
I learned to listen, I was taught to be an optimist
The only thing we're missing is a bit of confidence
And that's the feeling that I get when I be on the mic
I see their heads they start to bob like they're dodging Mike
Tyson Fury, I entice the jury
Like I passed the bar I shoot past the stars
So let me - smash these bars like I crashed the car
The greatest feeling that in the world is when they ask for more
All I see in our future is some open doors
So let's soar to new heights and this world explore, I've been
Sky high, oh my I've been feeling it
Sun upon my back, all you're seeing is my silhouette
Love song, coffee and a cigarette
I'm gone on a feeling that you can't forget
Sky high, oh my I've been feeling it
Sun upon my back, all you're seeing is my silhouette
Love song, coffee and a cigarette
I'm gone, I'm gone
Sky high, oh my I've been feeling it
Sun upon my back, all you're seeing is my silhouette
Love song, coffee and a cigarette
I'm gone on a feeling that you can't forget
Sky high, oh my I've been feeling it
Sun upon my back, all you're seeing is my silhouette
Love song, coffee and a cigarette
I'm gone, I'm gone
Sky high, oh my I've been feeling it
Sun upon my back, all you're seeing is my silhouette
Love song, coffee and a cigarette
I'm gone on a feeling that you can't forget
Sky high, oh my I've been feeling it
Sun upon my back, all you're seeing is my silhouette
Love song, coffee and a cigarette
I'm gone, I'm gone
