Mockingbird

Mockingbird, mockingbird Singing all night How clever You imitate me. Your search For the truth Of your own song Seems fruitless When the phrases of others Chime loud in your head. Mockingbird, mockingbird Silence is loud And the night Without music is long. So we fumble For voice In the dark That surrounds us Find song of our hearts In the light of our dreams.
