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
