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 And throw it just as far as I can slinger cause I wanna be free When my baby left me everything died But a little bluebird was singin' just outside singin' twidle-de-dee fly away with me Well you know I think I'm a gonna live gotta lotta love left in me to give So I wanna be free I released my heart my soul and my mind and I'm a feelin' fine I broke the chain the ring of gold before it broke my mind Well look who's a cryin' and it sure ain't me But I can't hardly hear and I can't have see oh I wanna be free I release my heart...
