You need a change, you need a change   The clouds they come and bring the rain   And from what they've heard   You're a mockingbird who flew away   You stayed so long, you lost your way   Can't find you home      And I know today could be the day   That the song you sing don't have to be the same   And you know that mockingbirds they say   Not all freebirds really ever fly away      You need a change, you need a change   The sun it comes and with it pain   And from what they've heard   You're a mockingbird who flew away   You stayed so long, you lost your way   Can't find your home      And I know today could be the day   That the song you sing don't have to be the same   And you know that mockingbirds they say   Not all freebirds really ever fly away
