Blackbird

Hello everyone! It's Kayla Vaughn here. I've decided to start a new blog for music therapy. Music really helps me get through things. I thought that maybe this could help someone else too. Anyways here is Kayla's Music Therapy Session. Today's songs is "Blackbird" by The Beatles. I absolutely love this song. Let me share the lyrics.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Blackbird fly. Blackbird fly,

Into the light of the dark black night

Blackbird fly. Blackbird fly,

Into the light of the dark black night

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Like I've already said, I love this song. As you read more and more posts you will figure out I'm a huge Beatles fan. Anyways, back to "Blackbird". I'm a blackbird and I'm singing. My broken wings are IC and my sunken eyes are fibromyalgia. Your broken wings and sunken eyes are your obstacles in life. However, I'm taking my broken wings and I'm learning to fly with them. And my sunken eyes? I'm not letting them get in my way. I'm learning to see.  Today I went to a dance competition. I've been telling my friend for months I would come to a competition, but I kept letting my broken wings and sunken eyes get in my way. Today, I learned that life can still go on with me in it. Yes, it will be hard, but I can do it. Of course there will be some days that I can't make it to plans, but my true friends will understand. So, don't let your broken wings and sunken eyes get in your way. Be free!
