Listen to the Mockingbird
STEVE FORBERT
Woke up one bright morning
Woke up in the rain
Woke up to the sunshine and the pain
Stood out in the rosebuds
Stood out in the dew
Stood out in the clear and got a clue
Listen to the mockingbird
Sing his sweet song
Listen to the mockingbird
And know that life goes on
Been inside a coal mine
Been inside a whale
Been inside a grief just like a jail
Listen to the mockingbird
Sing his sweet song
Listen to the mockingbird
And know that life goes on
On that morning, dressed in black
I began my journey back
Through old cobwebs colors blew
>From my footsteps shadows flew
Through these eyes of light now
I begin to know
All good things in time will come and go
Listen to the mockingbird
Sing his sweet song
Listen to the mockingbird
And know that life goes on
