Analysis of Mockingbird
Take my hand. Walk my way.
Listen to my repartee.
See my point. Play my part.
Listen to my beating heart.
Sing my song. Calm my soul.
Listen to my rock 'n' roll.
Lift my vex. Feel my pain.
Listen to my dark refrain.
Match my style. Stroke my face.
Listen to my saving grace.
Hear my plan. Know my care.
Listen to my earnest prayer.
Read my lips. Mark my word.
Listen to my mockingbird.
