She waited and waited for a chance to tell them... Listen - there's a mockingbird singing everyone's song Listen - to the mockingbird singing Everyone's song but yours Your not saying much anymore Did they understand What you were trying to say to them? Should they know why you turned and ran? Tell me what you mean Is the human sound just a scream? Standing - in an ocean of people Talking just to themselves They're not saying much to nobody else. All that they can make The very same sound that babies make They very first time that they awake Who knows what they mean? Is the human sound just a scream? Tell me what you mean When you fell down to the floor Just what you were sreaming for For someone to listen - here Whisper something in my ear Tell me something and I'll understand Listen - they're all afraid of the first word But they all want the last word Cause they can't say what they mean Is the human sound just a scream?
