For what event shall lead
And what event will follow
That the mockingbird song consist
Of only its own joy and wallows?
Mirrors around the mockingbird song
Shall it disappear for its false ownership?
Mirrors around the mockingbird song
Shall it grow louder in the ears of those who trained it?
If the mirror no longer had light or we no vision
Would it become of life? Grow a soul to show?
And if the mockingbird had no ears or we no sound
Would it learn its own voice? Gain an identity other than our own?
For what event shall lead
And what event will follow
That the mockingbird song consist
Of only its own joy and wallows?
Show him his blood born to imitate
Show him his colors false to himself
Mirrors around the mockingbird song
Deathly that it see itself
Will it disappear?
If existence is to plagiarize words
And existence was of one alone
Vanish- will existence?
Or become a spirit of its own?

For what event shall lead
And what event will follow
That the mockingbird song consist
Of only its own joy and wallows?
Mirrors around the mockingbird song
Shall it disappear for its false ownership?
Mirrors around the mockingbird song
Shall it grow louder in the ears of those who trained it?
If the mirror no longer had light or we no vision
Would it become of life? Grow a soul to show?
And if the mockingbird had no ears or we no sound
Would it learn its own voice? Gain an identity other than our own?
For what event shall lead
And what event will follow
That the mockingbird song consist
Of only its own joy and wallows?
Show him his blood born to imitate
Show him his colors false to himself
Mirrors around the mockingbird song
Deathly that it see itself
Will it disappear?
If existence is to plagiarize words
And existence was of one alone
Vanish- will existence?
Or become a spirit of its own?
