"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

Chorus:
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.

Chorus:
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?

Bridge:
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?
