Don't It Feel Good To Be Free

(album: Hell Up In Harlem - 1974)

Ooh

Don't it feel good to be free, now?
Like the birds up in the trees, now
Free to come and go wherever you please
Don't it feel good to be free?
Sing it, yeah
Don't it feel good to be (Free)

Free to laugh when there are happy times, yeah yeah (When there are happy times)
Free to cry when there is no one by your side (No one by your side)
Free to try what no one else believes
Don't it feel good to be free?
Oh, yeah, yeah
Don't it feel good to be free?

Have you ever been down? (Down)
Kicked around, feeling trapped, like you can't get out (Can't get out)
Then you'll know what I mean when I say

Don't it feel good to be free? Free (Don't it feel good to be free, now?)
Free, ooh, yeah, yeah (While the birds are in the trees, now)
To be right on (Right on) or off
Or somewhere in between
Don't it feel good to be free?
Hey, ha, yeah, yeah (Don't it feel good to be free?)

Oh, ha, ha, ha, yeah, yeah

Feels so good to be free, to be free (Don't it feel good to be free, now?)
Don't it make you feel good to know you're free? (Don't it feel good to be free, now?)
(Free to love) Free to love the one you love, you need (The one you need)
Don't it feel good to be free?
Hey, ha, yeah

Feeling good to be free (Don't it feel good to be free?)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Don't it feel good to be free?)
Free to be who you want to be (Don't it feel good to be free?)
Don't it feel good to be free, yeah? (Don't it feel good to be free?)
