Lyrics

[Verse 1]
River, it likes to flow, eagle, it likes to fly
Eagle, it likes to feel it's wings against the sky
Possum, it likes to run, ivy, it likes to climb
Bird in the tree and bumble bee want
Freedom in the autumn and the summertime
[Verse 2]
Ever since the day when the world was an onion
Ooh, it's natural for the spirit to soar and play
[Verse 3]
Way the Lord wanted it free as the sun is free
That's how it's gotta be
Whatever is right for the bumble bee
And river, and the eagle is right for me
[Verse 4]
Ever since the day when the world was an onion
It was natural for the spirit to soar and play
[Verse 5]
Way the Lord wanted it free
That's how it's gotta be
Whatever is right for the bumble bee
And river, and the eagle is right for me
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 6]
Gotta be, gotta be free
