Mockingbird Franklin

She never known acceptance.
She never known the word.
She says "I'd like to call myself Em,
But my real name is Mockinbird."
Mockingbird Franklin, so how do you do?
Mockingbird Franklin, I'm alright 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.

I rode along the sidewalk,
The steps are barely heard.
It's kinda funny that it's not me,
'Cause she's nothing like a mockingbird.
Nothing like a mockingbird.
Mockingbird Franklin, don't it get to you?
Mockingbird Franklin, I'm a lot like you.
I'm a lot like you.
It's true.
