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 my window and what to do I see
I see a bird way up in a tree
I want to be free free free - ee - ee ee
I want to be free like a bird in a tree
Oh, what good are my eyes, they can't see you
And my arms, they can't hold you 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 my window and what to do I see
I see a bird way up in a tree
I want to be free free free - ee - ee ee
I want to be free like a bird in a tree
