The blackbird’s sky,
It sings at night,
Yet through their sleep
They do not hear

The snowy fields,
They’re full of life,
Yet in their haste
They do not care

The stars at night,
They’re always there,
Yet when they look
They do not see

The church’s bell,
It rings so sweet,
Yet though they know
They do not feel

The blackbird’s sky,
It sings at night,
Yet through their sleep
They do not hear
