I have a good life but it seems like a jail

I’m always thinking Oh won’t someone pay my bail

Oh if only there was room to spread my wings

I’d fly outside to where the wind sings

Free as the birds in the sky

Flying over mountains high

Free as the wind in the trees

Oh what would take to be free

I’m sitting there, just a person

Yeah I’m sitting there with no choice of my own

And as I’m sitting there I wonder what it would be like

To be free, to be truly free

Free as the birds in the sky

Flying over mountains high

Free as the wind in the trees

Oh what would take to be free

I look at the sky

And I wonder why

Why that I’m destined to be what I am

Why can’t I change

Why can’t I be what I want to

I’d be myself but I don’t really know what that is

The wings of a bird

They seem to hold, all my dreams and hopes

I look at the sky

And I wonder why

Why I can’t soar

Why I can’t live any more

Than the confines of my life

One day

I promise myself

I will spread my wings and go

Go to freedom, love and life

Go to life without all strife

Go where every thing is free

Free as the birds in the sky

Flying over mountains high

Free as the wind in the trees

Oh what would take to be free
