I have learnt through all my past mistakes 
Not to let the hurdles sap my energy 
Time will tell and time is all it takes 
You won't see the bastards knock the running out of me 

And the band, they played one more song 
One for the mocking bird, they played one more song 
All the tears, they fell one by one 
All for the mocking-bird, they fell one by one 

Don't be fooled by those who feed you words 
They just twist and tighten up the tourniquet 
But the sweetest song of all the mocking-birds 
Couldn't hope to match one note of any song we played 

And the band, they played one more song 
One for the mocking bird, they played one more song 
All the dreams, they broke one by one 
All for the mocking-bird, they broke one by one 

What are you hiding from? 
Why do you lock the door? 
Open up the door! 

And the band, they played... 

I have learnt, time will tell, years will pass, tears will fall, 
Don't be fooled, fed by words, their sweet songs, 
Mocking-birds!
