Theme: The lyrics used is said the exact number of times as the number of the question.

Example: Don McLean says "This'll be the day that I die" 13 times in American Pie and Rush sings "Invisible airwaves crackle with life" twice in their song

I knew this would be tough and it was because no one got it. I accepted any Krox answer as acceptable

I believe the number for Blackbird is 5. Check it out and give me 100 extra points.
I will get every question about Beatles songs correct.
Close, but it's four. The second verse ends with "You were only waiting for this moment to be free" (not "arise"):

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 a dark black night

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of a 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
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
