Текст песни: Mockingbird + перевод

On bored summer days I look up into the sky

Wonder if birds appreciate the fact that they can fly

Or do they look down upon our version of mobility?

Are they envious of our bipedal abilities?

I look into the lives of the migrating birds

Wishing that I could communicate to them with words

Have them tell me stories of their twice yearly flight

Of what wonders they witness while the north is turning white

I wonder if I had a chat with an old Mockingbird

Would she want to teach me all the songs that she had heard

Songs about the wind, songs about her nest

Songs formed from the heart, soaring higher than the rest

Consider the colored coats of birds deep in the words

Far surpassing the beauty of our manufactured goods

Sometimes I am jealous of their lofty homes and trees

Free to look upon the world and enjoy the summer breeze

I envy eagles soaring through the cool evening air

They seem relaxed, riding calming currents way up there

Only worried about eating fish out of the lake

No other cares are on their minds, nothing else at stake

I wonder if I had a chat with an old Mockingbird

Would she want to teach me all the songs that she had heard

Songs about the wind, songs about her nest

Songs formed from the heart, soaring higher than the rest

Songs about the wind, songs about her nest

Songs formed from the heart, soaring higher than the rest (x3)
