C Dm Am
Lucky bird inside a gilded cage
C Am Dm G
Golden words spoke by an ancient sage
Am Em Am
Everything you may have in life,
Dm Em
Still all you hold is dust.
C Em Am
Must I yearn forever to be free?
Am Em Am
Free to climb a tree and ponder-
Am C G
Free to wander.
C Em Am
There's no desire I hold fonder
Am Dm F C
Than to be, simple me - to be free.

C Dm Am
How ungrateful is this lucky bird?
C Am Dm G
Spurning privilege for one simple word.
Am Em Am
Freedom to stretch these golden wings,
Dm Em
Freedom to touch the sky.
C Em Am
Why, some would ask what she wants to be.
Am Em Am
Free to throw away a treasure,
C G
Poor with pleasure,
C Em Am
I'd sacrifice riches beyond measure.
G Am
Just a girl, with a boy.
C Dm Cm
What a perfect fantasy...
G Am
To find love, to feel joy.
Dm Am C
To be really FREE.
