I Want To Be Free (2001 Remastered Version)

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 and what do I see?

I see a bird way up in the tree

I want to be free, free, free

I want to be free, like the bird in the tree (want to be free)

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 my window and what do I see?

I see a bird way up in the tree

I want to be free, free, free

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

I want to be, I woman who'd be, I want to be (ah, ah, ah, ah)

I want to be free, like the bird in the tree
