Lyrics

The Mockingbird and the Mourning Dove

Some tear down, some build up
Some drain the glass, some fill it up
Some show scorn while others love
The mockingbird and the mourning dove

Some don’t bother to understand
Drawing a hateful line in the sand
Bringing destruction every day
And the mockingbird has their way

Then there are those who lend a hand
Doing whatever good that they can
Taking the fearful risk to love
That is the way of the mourning dove

Our land divided, each out for their own
The meek and the misused standing alone
What is left to be proud of?
The mockingbird and the mourning dove

Do you gather or do you scatter?
In the end that’s all that matters
Mocking or mourning, false or true
When you look in your heart, which are you?
The mockingbird or the mourning dove
