For you, for me
Look at all the pointless suffering
Humanity
I am dreaming of a garden
And I see the midnight flight
Of a blackbird, through my vision
To the light
To the light
She is standing in the doorway
With the love light in her eye
And she beckons me to journey
Through the night
Through the night
Listen to the blackbird sadly sing
For you, for me
Look at all the pointless suffering
Humanity
To the people, who are naked
As they breathe in amber haze
Wandering endlessly narcotic
Through the maze
Through the maze
To the leaders, who are timeless
As they flaunt their warlike ways
Flying endlessly o'er the wasteland
Seeking praise
Seeking praise
Listen to the blackbird sadly sing
For you, for me
Look at all the pointless suffering
Humanity

The Steve Miller Band is an American rock band formed in 1966 in San Francisco, California. The band is led by Steve Miller on guitar and lead vocals. The group had a string of mid- to late-1970s hit singles that are staples of classic rock, as well as several earlier psychedelic rock albums. Miller left his first band to move to San Francisco and form the Steve Miller Blues Band. Shortly after Harvey Kornspan negotiated the band's contract with Capitol Records in 1967, the band shortened its name to the Steve Miller Band. In February 1968, the band recorded its debut album, Children of the Future. It went on to produce the albums Sailor, Brave New World, Your Saving Grace, Number 5, The Joker, Fly Like an Eagle, Book of Dreams, among others. The band's Greatest Hits 1974–78, released in 1978, sold over 13 million copies. In 2016, Steve Miller was inducted as a solo artist in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
