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 window

and what to I see

I see a bird

way up in the tree

I want to be free free

Free - ee - ee - ee

I want to be free

like the bird in the tree

What good are my eyes,

they can't see you

And my arms,

they can't hold 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 at window

and what to I see

I see a bird

way up in the tree

I want to be free free

Free - ee - ee - ee

I want to be free

like the bird in the tree

I want to be free

like the bird in the tree
