Verse 1:
 The darkness in my soul, is ever creeping in
 It’s like a fog that brings fear of all that’s been
 What I can do is write a song that might explain
 My feelings and thoughts as if that could tame
Chorus:
 These lyrics my friend is my escape
 Mockingbird flies away and helps me to take
 My emotions I can never quite express
 Are held in music and we can make a mess
Verse 2:
 My dreams and secrets can be seen in the sky
 The notes and tunes, a way for us to try
 This song with lights up the starry night
 And guides me on, away from all the fright
Chorus:
 These lyrics my friend is my escape
 Mockingbird flies away and helps me to take
 My emotions I can never quite express
 Are held in music and we can make a mess
Bridge:
 Life can be hard and not always fair,
 But I can sing and scream and fill the air
 Cause I know music can help to set us free
 Breaking away from what life can be
Chorus:
 These lyrics my friend is my escape
 Mockingbird flies away and helps me to take
 My emotions I can never quite express
 Are held in music and we can make a mess
