Lyrics
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 at my window
(I wanna be free)
And what do I see?
(Oh, wanna be free)
I see a bird
(I wanna be free)
Up in the tree
(Oh, wanna be free)
I wanna be free
(Oh, yes)
Free
(Oh, yes)
Free
I wanna be free
Like a bird in a tree
(Wanna be free)
What good are my eyes? They can't see you
And my arms, they can't hold you 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 at my window
(I wanna be free)
And what do I see?
(Oh, wanna be free)
I see a bird
(I wanna be free)
Way up in the tree
(Oh, wanna be free)
I wanna be free
(Oh, yes)
Free
(Oh, yes)
Free
I wanna be free
Like a bird in a tree
