There's no joy in my heart, only sorrow
And I'm sad as a man can be
I sit alone in the darkness of my lonely room
And this room is a prison to me
I look out my window and what do I see?
I see a bird way up in a tree I wanna be free,
oh yes,
free,
oh yes,
free
I wanna be free
like the bird
in the tree Wanna be free
Oh what good are my eyes, they can't see you
And my arms, they can't hold you so tight
I have two lips that are yearning,
but they're no good to me
Cause I know I can't kiss you tonight
I look out my window and what do I see?
I see a bird way up in a tree
I wanna be free, oh yes, free, oh yes,
free I wanna be free
like a bird in a tree
Wanna be free I wanna be free
like a bird in a tree
Want to be free
