I Want To Be Free

(album: Born Free - 1967)

I want to be free like the bluebird flying by me
Like the waves out on the blue sea
Your love has to tie me, don't try me, say goodbye

I want to be free, don't say you love me, say you like me
But when I need you beside me
Stay close enough to guide me, confide in me, oh-oh-oh-oh

I want to hold your hand, walk along the sand
Laughing in the sun, always having fun
Doing all those things without any strings to tie me down

I want to be free like the warm September wind, babe
Say you'll always be my friend , babe
We can make it to the end, babe
Again, babe, I gotta say

I want to be free
I want to be free
I want to be free
