This is a song using the themes and scenes from the book
It goes to the tune of Fireflies by Owl City
It is a new song to an old book
I hope you like!
I don't own To Kill a Mockingbird or the song.
You would not believe your eyes
If ten million blacks and whites
Stood side by side marching as one
Their cries fill the open air
Leave teardrops everywhere
You think me rude
But I can't just stand and stare
I'd like to make myself believe
That people are what they choose to be
It's hard to say I'd rather see the color of man's skin
When everyone around me closes in
Cause I get a thousand stares
From those who don't really care
As I try to show Maycombe what's right
Tom Robinson's dead and gone
Once again the white man won
Can anybody else see what is wrong?
I'd like to make myself believe
That people are what they choose to be
It's hard to say I'd rather see the color of man's skin
When everyone around me closes in
The jury misjudges the blacks
(Please take me away from here)
They tire of copping all the flack
(Please take me away from here)
They try to fight for all their rights
(Please take me away from here)
Trust me it's such a lonely sight
From ten million blacks and whites
I hate what this world is like
They need to try to get along
Cause they were almost there
But life is just so unfair
How far will they go
So they don't have to share?
I'd like to make myself believe
That people are what they choose to be
It's hard to say I'd rather see the color of man's skin
When everyone around me closes in
I'd like to make myself believe
That people are what they choose to be
It's hard to say I'd rather see the color of man's skin
When everyone around me closes in
I'd like to make myself believe
That people are what they choose to be
It's hard to say I'd rather see the color of man's skin
When everyone around me closes in
