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
