Verse
On my block the youth
Spit rhymes of truth
Their season has arrived
Knowin’ they belong
Rooftop black bird song
The reason to survive
The storm it takes me
You won’t forsake me
In the changin’ tide
Your flight is love
I’m not afraid to move
You are my guide (Nate)
Chorus
You callin’
Wake up get ready
Wake up get ready
Get up get ready
Get up get ready
Verse
Blackbird testify
Soar with The Most High (Naz)
This strange migration
Warrior of light
Stand up in the fight
Improve this situation
You need only look (Naz)
In the holy book
To know your true potential
It lies deep within
Sinew heart an’ skin
A Love that is essential
Chorus
You callin’
Wake up get ready
Wake up get ready
You callin’
Get up get ready
Get up get ready
Yeah

Transcendent
Reverent
Yes you shine in divine excellence!
Blackbird – mysterious – freedom - lunar sun,
Spiritual path embark – and pass-everyone!
So now is the time, plus we see who you are,
… cannot wait, it’s your fait, having faith, be your star.
Must just trust – the richness of self.
The value of ‘you’ is far far beyond priceless wealth.
Magnitude of magnificence - togetherness,
Intelligence. Eternal. Wisdom & benevolence.
Your extend wings it brings vulnerability,
Reach possibilities, embracing serenity.
Heights, spirit guide, find your truths through your dreams,
Your presence is felt – even when it’s unseen,
Changes are happening - awakening minds.
So get up get - get ready to just leave it all behind. Blackbird.
Verse
Wake up with the dawn
Ready to move on
To the prime position
Standing by The One
No one stands alone (Naz)
Lets move with this transition
Carrying the word
Beat your wings Blackbird
So His Will be done - yeah
Let the Trumpet sound
Do do do do do do (rep)
In the Higher Ground
We are going home
Outro Chorus
You callin’
Wake up get ready
Wake up get ready
I can hear you calling
Get up get ready
Get up get ready
I can hear you – I can hear you
Get up get ready
Get up get ready
Ooh
Outro
Have you got a song for me
They seem to come so easy
So easy
Have you got a song for me
They seem to come so easy
Yeah mmhmmh
