I Want to Be Free

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 want to be free (oh yes), free (oh yes), free
I wanna be free
Like a bird in the tree

Oh, what good are my eyes they can't see you
And my arms they can't hold me 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 yes), free (oh yes), free
I wanna be free
Like a bird in the tree

I wanna be free
Like a bird in a tree
(Want to be free)
