He tells you when

He tells you why

He tells you wherefore-

what to do and how it's done,

And how to be for him-

it's all about control,

it's all about control.

You're his life

You're his strenght,

but he's your weakness,

he knows you care,

knows you give,

but he couldn't care less-

He fits you to his mould

Chipping at you soul



Chorus

It tears me up

To see the way that he treats you

To see the way that he brings you

down and down-

he's turning you inside out,

it breaks me up

to see the way that you take it,

to see the way that he spins you

round and round

turning you upside down......

Mocking bird,

Mocking bird.....



Afraid to leave,

afraid to lose,

afraid of living-

you turn to him,

you turn to me,

but it lies in you-

it's waiting to be found,

it's waiting to be found,

so feel your heart,

feel your pain,

feel your anger,

if you fight your fear,

find the words-

you'll find the answer....

like a cat held upside down,

you'll land feet on the ground....



chorus



You never know

what life will bring-

trust your spirit

find your wings,

find your voice

and let it sing

Let it sing....



chorus
