Hiding in the shadows

A misfit, a mimic

We all want to be special

Created for something specific.

Life is so hard when you're feeling alone

Wondering where all the music has gone

Don't want to feel like a cheap imitation

Want to to believe I'm a lovely creation.

I am a mocking bird whose song has not been heard

My wings are clipped and burned

Can my fate ever be turned

Been living in a dream, but now it's time to leave

These wings have come unfurled

'cause I'm your mocking bird, bird.

Every note is stolen

The ballad of someone else

All of me is frozen

Forgotten on a shelf.

The fear has held me for too long

And now I'm taking off (now I'm taking time)

A brand new song for us to hum into the dead of night

I'll never go back again

We will never go back again.

I'm your mocking bird, whose song has now been heard

No longer clipped and burned

'cause my fate has now been turned

Living in a dream, a new reality

These wings have come unfurled

'cause I'm your mocking bird.
