I WANT TO BE FREE There's no joy in my heart only sorrows 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 (I want to be free) and what do I see (I want to be free) I see a bird (I want to be free) way up in the tree (I want to be free) I want to be free, oh yeah, free, oh yeah, free ee - ee I want to be free like the bird in the tree (want to 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 (I want to be free) and what do I see (I want to be free) I see a bird (I want to be free) way up in the tree (I want to be free) I want to be free, oh yeah, free, oh yeah, free ee - ee I want to be free like the bird in the tree (want to be free) I want to be free like the bird in the tree (want to be free)
