Mockingbird

Sometimes when the wind picks up
And scatters the dust off the ground
I think I can hear the sound
Of the truth, the way it’s meant to be
The way that Atticus told me
But the music comes and goes
And leaves me all alone
It’s been so long since I’ve heard
It’s a sin to kill a mockingbird

The leaves tumble by
The trees stand in their beautiful lie
You would never know the secrets they keep
It’s just enough to fool the weak
I can’t help but to realize, to see
How things pretend to be happy
We’ve all grown older now
But still the same
I don’t want to know how
To play this game

Sometimes when the wind picks up
And scatters the dust off the ground
I think I can hear the sound
Of the truth, the way it’s meant to be
The way that Atticus told me
But the music comes and goes
And leaves me all alone
It’s been so long since I’ve heard
It’s a sin to kill a mockingbird

Sometimes it takes a child’s mind
To make you realize how far you are behind
Lesson heard but never learned
An entire town gets burned
Foolish girl you tell a lie
I dare you to say it to the sky
And when justice comes
And you know it will
Are you going to be lying still

Sometimes when the wind picks up
And scatters the dust off the ground
I think I can hear the sound
Of the truth, the way it’s meant to be
The way that Atticus told me
But the music comes and goes
And leaves me all alone
It’s been so long since I’ve heard
It’s a sin to kill a mockingbird

It’s been so long since I’ve heard
It’s a sin to kill a mockingbird
