I Wanna Be Free (Live On The Ed Sullivan Show, May 30, 1971)

Well, I look out the window and what do I see

The breeze is a blowin' the leaves from the trees

Everything is free everything but me

I'm gonna take this chain from around my finger

Throw it just as far as I can slinger

'Cause I want to be free

When my baby left me everything died

But a little bluebird's a singin' just outside

Singin' twidle-de-dee, fly away with me

Well, you know I think I'ma gonna live

Gotta lotta love left in my heart to give

And I want to be free

I've released my heart my soul and my mind and I'ma feelin' fine

I broke the chain the ring of gold 'fore it broke my mind

Well look who's cryin' and it ain't me

'Cause I can't hardly hear and I can't have see

Did I want to be free?

I've released my heart my soul and my mind and I'ma feelin' fine

I broke the chain the ring of gold before it broke my mind

Well look who's cryin' and it ain't me

'Cause I can't hardly hear and I can't have see

Did I want to be free?

Do I want to be free?

Yeah, I wanna be free

Free
