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, free,
free
I wanna be free,
like a bird in a tree I 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,
free,
free I wanna be free,
like a bird in a tree
I wanna be free,
like the bird in a tree I wanna be free
