Free

I keep my lid on tightly I dress the part and smile But something's stirring underneath It's been brewing there a while Pacing my halls on tiptoes Sitting, I twiddle my thumbs Making a break when the bell goes How fast can these legs run? I'm free Free as a bird I'm free Free as a bird I'm tired of all your stories 'Bout what you've seen and done Wagging your finger back at me Why don't you bite your tongue? Cutting around the corners Traipsing through back alleys Doing exactly what I want Don't care what you think of me I'm free Free as a bird I'm free Free as a bird Like a word That leaves my mind Like a dream Leaves in daylight I've waited a long, long while now Bided my time for this Traded my suits for cowboy boots For something I wouldn't dare miss Keepin' my fingers crossed now Keepin' my toes crossed too If I blink and find I'm dreamin' I don't know what I would do I'm free Free as a bird I'm free Free as a bird I'm free Free as a bird I'm free Free as a bird I keep my lid on tightly
