"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?
