she's never known acceptance

      she's never know the word

      but my real name is mockingbird

      mockingbird franklin

      so how do you do

      mockingbird franklin

      i'm a lot like you

      she says her mother is gone now

      she says her mother got killed

      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 a lot 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

      'cus she's nothing like a mockingbird

      nothing like a mockingbird

      mockingbird franklin
