 Lyrics: I Want To Be Free
Thereâs no joy in my heart,
only sorrow
And Iâm 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 at window
and what to I see
I see a bird
way up in the tree
I want to be free free
Free â ee â ee â ee
I want to be free
like the bird in the tree
What good are my eyes,
they canât see you
And my arms,
they canât hold so tight
I have two lips
that are yearning,
but theyâre no good to me
Cause I know I canât kiss you tonight
I look at window
and what to I see
I see a bird
way up in the tree
I want to be free free
Free â ee â ee â ee
I want to be free
like the bird in the tree
I want to be free
like the bird in the tree
