I Want to Be Free

There's no joy in my heart, only sorrow
And I'm as 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 want to be free (oh yeah) free (oh yeah) free
I want to be free
Like a bird in a tree

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 want to be free (oh yeah) free (oh yeah) free
I want to be free
Like a bird in a tree

There's no joy in my heart, only sorrow
And I'm as 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 want to be free (oh yeah) free (oh yeah) free
And I want to be free
Like a bird in a tree
I want to be free
Like a bird in a tree
Well I want to be free
Like a bird in a tree
