Blackbird - 9/27
The blackbird represents a person living an unfortunate life. One can assume this from the description of the bird as having "broken wings" and "sunken eyes". The blackbird flying "into the light of the dark black night", as well as the "fixing" of the aforementioned broken wings and sunken eyes, represent this person fighting their way out of this situation, showing that anyone can live a full life, regardless of their situation. The blackbird could also represent minorities in society at the time, who were repressed and in low spirits. The flight into the light represents the civil rights movement, and increased freedom for these minorities.
