I am a mockingbird
Tiny and trim
The sky brings up my limbs
The earth stages my chirr
It’s the way I am
But when I am singing
Vibrant and vocal
A soothing voice to the local
A signal to where I am living
It’s the way I am
My heart is the lyrics of my song
Forest is where they belong
Dance with my twitchy tail
The hymn means to prevail
I mock but it’s not a sin
It’s a way to show that we are kin
It’s the way I’d like to be
