The mockingbird signifies the innocent who just want to do good
But we don't really treat them the way that we should
They only sing to make us smile
That's why killing them is ever so vile
Why destroy the innocence found in the best of hearts
And then complain about the "rotten" parts
They're not the same as the bluejays, they give us hope
Making it easier for us to cope
So next time you hear that sweet noise in the back of your ear
I hope you'll think and treasure something so dear
