It's three steps to the window
And three steps to the wall
The leaking tap is singing
A song about your last call
Some ants are fighting over
Three crumbs of yesterday
In this small room in this big town
Where I've got nothing left to say
Except: some parts of me
Just won't be locked away
I'm free as a bird and I'm going to do what I want
I'm free as a bird and I'm going to do what I want
At first I really meant to stay but life had planned another way
And now I'm free as a bird and I'm going to do what I want
So I shake my sleepy legs
Drinking from your favorite cup
In the afternoon I chat
With the cat behind the wall
When I picture your face
I almost feel okay
You shaped me by the piece
In your hands I was clay
And now I'm free as a bird and I'm going to do what I want
I'm free as a bird and I'm going to do what I want
At first I really meant to stay but life had planned another way
And now I'm free as a bird and I'm going to do what I want
When I go up and down
In this little cage of mine
I wonder if I'm going to see you again
Outside I can see leaves fall
So it's been a year by now
Still I am thankful for what we shared
Now I'm free as a bird and I'm going to do what I want
Yeah I'm free as a bird and I'm going to do what I want
At first I really meant to stay but life had planned another way
I had thought we'd last forever and one day
And now I'm free as a bird and I'm going to do what I want
I'm free as a bird and I'm going to do what I want
At first I really meant to stay but life had planned another way
But now I'm free as a bird and I'm going to do what I want
Well I'm free as a bird and I don't know what I want
