She’d never known acceptance
She’d never known the word
She says “i like to call myself m
But my real name is mockingbird”

Mockingbird franklin
So how do you do
Mockingbird franklin
I’m alot like you

She says her mother is gone now
She says it never got cured
I said, “i’m sorry but is it true
Did she really name you mockingbird?”

Mockingbird franklin
Broke your heart in two
Mockingbird franklin
I’m alot like you

Mockingbird
Don’t you change
Just because you’re not like them
Oh mockingbird
You’re not the same

Alone along the sidewalk
Her steps are barely heard
It’s kinda funny that it’s her name
’cause she’s nothing like a mockingbird

Mockingbird franklin
Don’t it get to you
Mockingbird franklin
I’m alot like you
