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
